What Headphones?

[Bennah]

Hi there,

Im after some new headphones once again.

My only previous 'real' headphones were some Sennheiser HD280 Pro's and Sennheiser HD 205's.

Now the 280's were superb. After a little check, they are around £70ish mark. Now is there any decent sets out there around this price bracket or do I just buy another set of 280's

Thanks...

Nope dont own the HD280's anymore. Had to be sold at the time

They will be used at home plugged into an amp (when it arrives), HIFI and my laptop.

Closed and Open, whats the sound difference between them?

Closed 'phones generally isolate a lot better than open ones, in sound won't leak out as much and outside noise won't get in.

However, a lot of people prefer the sound of open 'phones, but they won't be so practical in noisy environments or ones which you could potentially disturb people if they leak too much sound.

Ended up going for some 'open' ones.

HD555's for £45 inc delivery which does'nt seem to be bad does it

Well the sound source isn't going to be great... A Dell lappy but everything counts right

Will not really to test them out untill I get the new TV and AMP setup.
