More Usual Question: Over Ear Headphones

tok9

I've been using the Bose AE2 for over 2 years now (Cost me about €140 at the time and recently replaced the earpads as the leather was ripping off) but I've been looking at getting new headphones with a while now.

I've generally been looking at headphones around the €250-300 mark and I've seen both the Bang & Olufsen H6 and the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 discounted a little on amazon.

Amazon - Bang & Olufsen H6

Amazon - Sennheiser Momentum 2.0

So just wondering if people think these are really good value or if I should just buy something better as I'm willing to pay a bit more for really good sound quality.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any ideas or even direct me somewhere which might be better?

I personally haven't listened to the other 2, but check out Ultrasone 900.
They're what I use as my work set and they're excellent, I spent a long time researching headphones before I bought them, I was looking for the best value closed back headphones.
They're just a little bit more expensive than the other two, but its probably worth it.

Good long thread here about them http://www.head-fi.org/t/527451/ultrasone-pro-900-impressions-thread

Cool, I'll have a read through it. Any idea of some stores I might be able to try them out in?

I don't think anywhere in Ireland sells them in store, but Amazon sell them pretty cheap.
