another headphones thread

(I'm really sorry)

I need a pair of closed back headphones for listening to TV programmes, around the £25 mark, that won't hurt my ears after 6 hours solid use.

I have koss porta pro at the moment and they're not very good for this job. I'm probably asking too much, aren't I?

Sub thread:

Does anyone know if Beats by dre headphones are getting bigger?

Yesterday I saw someone walking along 'wearing' a pair of these things, and it looked like he had a pair of bright read saucepans strapped to the side of his head.

You're asking way too much

Otherwise I'd recommend some Allesandro MS-1's.

- sennheiser hd202s will do the job though, right?

  - also, I want to use them tomorrow
    
    I should just pay a but more and buy them from maplin?

  - sennheiser is always a good bet in my experience

    - Unless you're buying the HD 25's
      
      Which KennyDope seems to swear by or a HD598's or up, Sennheiser will always give you a dark and veiled sound with next to no treble.

      - do I need treble for listening to family fortunes?

  - these will be fine for what you want them for
    
    for comfort maybe look at a pair of AKG K77

From my experiance the only headphones that don't cause fatigue (at least as rapidly as other headphones)

are ones that ridiculously neutral and balanced, I don't think you'll get any for the price tag you're looking at which will be comfortable for a long time.

- But if you're whilling to spend an extra fiver
  
  get the AKG k77, they're pretty comfortable and aren't nearly as fatiguing as other headphones in that price range

- I used to have sennheiser px200s
  
  I could use them for hours. I think koss porta pro are just really uncomfortable.
  
  Tillance @Yesiamaduck | 28 Apr '12, 14:04 | X
  - Yes those are good headphones, I would recommend them if you had an extra £20 - £30 to spend :)
    
    Yesiamaduck @Tillance | 28 Apr '12, 14:09 | X
    - if I could afford them again (first pair were a present)
      
      I'd have bought them again instead of the koss. and now I wouldn't need to get a another pair fur work.

      - These are really good as well

        the green ones are my fav but they're way out of budget, the red ones are just a lil over
