I have a pair of Senn HD 25-1 IIs and they are BRILLIANT. I use them every day. Not cheap but the sound quality is very good. Not quite £200 but they will set you back a good £140 ish.
The detail of the sound is really something else, and the bass.... its brilliant. I am a bit of a bass junkie as I am quite into bassline and garage and the 25s reproduce the bass perfectly.
The mrs thought I was mad spending that much on a set of cans but when she had a listen she agreed that they were worth it.

Can anyone here fix headphones? I broke my Shure in ear jobbies at the jack, they only work very intermittently if I hold them in exactly the right place and don't move
I went out and bought some Bose over ear headphones to replace them with which were quite a few bob but well worth it. In ear headphones are great but a PITA when you have long hair as they end up tangled up in it (see above paragraph re broken Shures )

I wouldn't spend £200 on earphones, but maybe a really good set of DJ headphones. Keep your lugs warm, and I find them more comfortable than ear phones too. (I gots really small ears without proper lobes you see's)

no chance - what makes me laugh is the number of people I see with expensive earphones like these listening to ipods - hmmm, getting good quality from that 128kbps track are you?
seriously I don't get it - I can understand the noise cancelling ones if you do lots of flying but if you're listening to good quality sound, then chances are you won't be using headphones?

Goldring GX200, less than £50, great sound quality and very comfortable with the supplied Comply foam ear tips.

I've got some £80-odd earbuds for the Ipod, and some £400-odd active STAX headphones.
Yes you can tell the difference. The STAX are like liquid honey. Deffo not for listening to MP3()
Would I buy them again - yes, and probably the higher-priced ones too!

The difference from cheaper headphones to these is big. Worth another £100 on top? If you can afford it, sure.
