Which phones will you guys recommend or is there any listed above? budget below 50 euro. 

 

Thank you


There's no noise cancellation with open headphones. With a budget below 50 Euro, I don't recall any neutral cans at that price range.

HD238 are very comfortable to wear. They good high-end and bass response with the loss of some midrange. I actually prefer the obsolete MDR-V6 which are neutral or flat.

HD238 is openback, so it has the most wide soundstage, but is also expensive.

HD201 is also very popular, but I don't think it is built for music...

Perhaps audition the HD518 ? should be with your budget and they are semi-open and sounded neutral in a 2 minute audition I had with them

Although i've heard the HD238 before, I completely forgot what it sounded like, sorry triportsad.gif  There is some graphs on Innerfidelity though, could help.

haha. i don know how to interpret the graph.

Quite fed up with deciding the phones. lol.

Perhaps i should just get the HD238 since it's the most expensive among those, and from the review, its only drawback is the missing midrange of noise.

You should try auditioning the HD238, the measurements looks like the headphone is neutral but a bit dark in the treble.
