Wanted (recommendations): iPhone compatible HEADPHONES with mic + remote

hi guys,

totally new to the forum and headphones. done some searching on the forum but couldnt find any similar threads

have been using in-ear earphones for years now, started with the cx300s and now im using some scosche idr-655m. due to the rise of the dre beats i wouldnt mind getting some headphones now

im looking for some headphones for my iphone that have a remote and microphone built in please

my budget is roughly £70 (about $120?)

they cant be open backed (i bought some grado sr60i's and they leak too much sound)

id very much prefer if they looked okay and not old-school like the grado's lol! but would consider it

the music i listen to is mostly edm (trance, prog house) and rap + random other music sometimes

tl;dr

headphones wanted

~£70 budget

iphone compatible (remote + mic)

NOT open backed

look cool

please help!

thanks in advance

thank you for your reply

hmm they do look good but im pretty sure there are other models, i saw some Audio Technica ATH-WS55i which look quite nice and have volume controls

might buy them for £66 off a chinese ebay seller if there are no other suggestions

they get quite good reviews in a lot of places

I ended up ordering them with similar criterias to you:

closed back

looks cool

has buttons and a mic that works with my iPhone

sounds good for rap and hip hop

about $100USD

 

I hope they're as good as they say in the very few reviews that are available for them.

 

I also considered other headphones such as the px200-IIi, klipsch image ones but ultimately went with the ATH-WS55i's. 

 

Mine are apparently at customs right now. I wished them moved faster! haha.

yep ordered the ATH-WS55i's

got them today

just started using them now, they look very nice and fit well

not an audiophile at all so sorry i wont be able to answer if highs/lows etc are good lol!

£66 from ebay, arrived in about 8 working days iirc from china

i like the remote, it has a good click to it so you know your pressing the button unlike my scosche idr-655ms

i know they will need burning in or w/e you call it

you must have got yours by now? how are they?

regards

got it from dzone2 here:

i listened to a few tracks and it has made me hear stuff ive never heard before so thats definitely something positive

so far so good!
