Need help choosing a pair of over-ear headphones

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hi guys,

 

I need help choosing a decent pair of headphones and my budget for this is £50.

 

I am currently considering the Sennheiser HD 428 (new) and the HD 465 (damaged packaging but brand new). No reason for the brands, but they are the only ones I could really find on amazon for £50. 

 

I've read approx. 30 reviews today about the 428s and most people complain about them been too quiet and generally lacking bass. I can't afford an amplifier on top of this so I'm leaning away from these.

 

I've not really read up much on the 465s (pounding headache plus I can't find my glasses...) but I've heard they have much more bass and are better overall.

 

I've never bought a pair of proper on ear headphones before so I don't know exactly what I'm looking for.

 

Could you guys advise me on this issue? They will be used for watching movies, listening to music (obviously..) and video gaming.

 

If it helps at all my taste in music is metal, classic rock and whatever you would consider dubstep to be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also....first post!
