Budget Headphone recommendations

will56 · 2016-02-04 09:45:17

Hi, Could I get some recommendations for over ear headphones for around €50 please. Main use is music and watching movies on tablet/laptop/PC. I would like some degree of noise cancellation and as little noise bleed as possible. Budget isn't set in stone but would prefer to spend in around that amount. Any help is greatly…

€47.66 Delivered - Sennheiser HD 429

At $90, the Sennheiser HD 429s is a solid deal—it delivers excellent audio performance in a comfortable fit. It's lacking in the extras department, and the remote and un-foldable design aren't the most user-friendly decisions. But if you want a fantastic-sounding headphone pair and couldn't care less about the extras, the HD 429s will not disappoint.

Also quite a few in this thread

Looking for good set of in ear headphones that won't break the bank, I've paid 30-40 in shops and to be honest I haven't been impressed. I'm sure I can get better for the same costs or less. Any recommendations ?

Over ear headphones within your budget can be MDR-7506 or ATH-M40x (you can read more about that below)
