Headphone Advice

Looking to buy a new pair of headphones for everyday use, don't want ones that are too bulky to have with me on the bus etc. Had a quick browse on amazon and below are the ones I like the look of so if anyone has an opinion on any of these or can suggest some alternatives. Budget of around €200

A RRP of €379, i have a pair and they are excellent. Also due to them being free with the xperia you might find a pair even cheaper on ebay.

Cheers mate, I'll definitely have a look into them so. Is the build quality good? As I'm not usually the most careful with my headphones but want these to last for a while.

I cant see a problem with them at all, they are plastic, but tough. Hard to break unless you sat on them. For the price you can get them i dont think they can be beaten. There are lots of reviews of them online so readup and see what you think. But for less that €200 i dont think you will do better.

New pair up for auction on ebay , no reserve and no bids. Keep an eye on them, you may be lucky.

Another pair with the auction finishing today, you could get them for €150

If you are interested in those Philips headphones, you can get their flagship model, the Philips x1 for 192 euro excluding
shipping costs from Amazon.it. They get excellent reviews online

EDIT: These cans are bulky and they would not be suitable for bus as they are open headphones!!! oops!
