Hi,

I'm looking to buy a set of good headphones to use with my Sony minidisc player when I'm walking/cycling etc.

What are the best available for less than £50?

Thanks!

Andy.

FWIW, back of my What Hi Fi says Beyer DT75 £35, Beyer DT231 Galactic, £45, or in-ear SennheiserMX500 £20 all get five stars. Never used any of them.

Its got to be a pair from Sennheiser. I have had two pairs now and I rate them five out of five. Buy the best pair that you can afford.

Try these. They fit in your ear and so will not fall out while exercising. Also they sound good.

Anyone tried any of the new Sony or Panasonic Noise Cancelling cans? Do they work?

Hiya ldas,

Thanks for your help!

I've bought some a pair of Sennheiser MX500's off the net. Once I've used them I'll let you know my thoughts...
