Headphones (again for the 54th time centric)

lemonbrickcombo [Edit] [Delete] 13:34, 10 November '08

look, I need some cans. I fixed my extension cable for my old ones at the weekend, only to find that the actual headset had broken. Sod and double sod. Doesn't matter, because they were shit, and free.

What does matter is that I have very little money to spend on a new pair which I want to be tough and stuff like that. Max of about £25-30, preferably £15-20.

I like sennheiser's soundwise, and amazong tells me there are plenty of closed cup types (as it's for tube journeys, it's gotta be closed cup, noise cancelling or at the very least in-ear) available for that sorta price range, but is a closed cup the best way forward? Also, no long bloody cables. 1.5m maximum. Otherwise it just gets tangled up and breaks. I have an extension cord already for gaming and dvd watching.

I'm veering between these 3.

1) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-CX-500-Isolating-Headphones/dp/B000VRBLMS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1226323764&sr=1-2

2) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-HD205-Closed-Back-Headphone/dp/B000E1FYRO/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1226323764&sr=1-14

3) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PX200-Closed-Mini-Headphone/dp/B000089GN4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1226323764&sr=1-8

I'm put off the first because they're in ear, the second because they have a 3metre cable. So currently, number 3 is winning. I want to order by tonight so please advise any others I should consider. If anyone recommends Koss, I will shoot them, as they are the shittest pair of headphones I have ever owned. Too quiet, uncomfortable and unreliable.

Tah muchly.
