A pair of Grado SR60 or 80 are a slightly better proposition.

Basq is right, 300 for headphones, though not just in a recession but defended by some in a bargain alerts forum. Of course it is just someones opinion and I fully accept it.

Oh how I love these threads!

I bought a pair of Etymotic ER-4P in-ear headphones for €300 back in 2005. They were supposedly, at the time, the best sounding in-ear headphones available and I still have them. They do sound amazing and isolate noise extremely well, but I got tired of how they felt in my ears so I haven't used them for quite some time.

Audio is such a subjective topic that no matter what anybody says, there will always be someone who disagrees. At the end of the day, if people feel comfortable in spending large amounts of money on headphones, in-ear headphones or whatever kind of phones, so be it. There are plenty of independent, online sources of information that people can avail of in order to make an informed decision before purchasing such items, that I don't feel sorry when someone wastes their money on something I feel is a rip-off, I just feel sorry that they didn't think to do a bit of research first.

I test bluetooth headsets for a living from all 3rd party vendors. If it's popular we buy it and test it. Beat seem good but are a tad overpriced and give pretty good A2DP stereo audio and up until recently (as I have only used them a few times) I thought they were good. Well its not true. They are over priced and have a lot of problems with pairing. I test these headsets in a very technical capacity such as getting a bluetooth capture of any problem of the issue with specialized hardware. In summary: looks good, sounds good but lots of problems. By the way we buy this stuff and cost is never a problem, it being popular is more popular to us.

Lol! The highlighted part is borderline retarded!

I got a mental image that this poster was one of those 14 year old girls who replies to every criticism with "you're just jealous!!"

They cost 300 quid?! Not enough lols in the world.

Sennheisers HD 25's.

Do yourself a favour if your considering getting Beats. Even get the Adidas HD 25s if you want a more stylish pair.

I use cheap oul inner ear ones for listening to music. Sound quality does me and if they get wrecked you don't really care.
In the studio I've s collection of headphones. My 2 favourites are a pair if AKG and a cheap pair of Philips. I think the AKG were €95. These don't leave the studio as they are big Formula 1 style yokes!

Alright lads..

.. that's the end of that!

Closed!
