Looking for sturdy budget headphones under $50 (Sennheiser HD 202 replacement)
I love the Sennheiser HD 202 for watching TV and gaming. They are light, sound solid with good bass and are padded so comfortable for long periods. Also the long cord suits watching television on the sofa. But I have had to return so many pairs because the cable is so fragile. Is there...- Ringoko

Looking for something that sounds more lively than the ATH-M50
I've had these headphones for around 3 years. I connect them directly to an iPod Touch, listening to spotify extreme quality and 320kbps MP3s. It sounds accurate I guess, but just a bit sparse and lifeless to my ears. I'm not a basshead by any means, my preferred music is acoustic singer...- Ringoko

Cheap earbuds advice (non-IEM)
Hey, thanks for the quick replies. My budget, I'd say would be up to about £60 ($100) for now. In UK prices, the Yuin PK3 would be about £30, MX580s are on Amazon for £18. I tried both the foam pads and the rubber rings but there wasn't much of a difference. I even tried the old...- Ringoko

Cheap earbuds advice (non-IEM)
I'm looking for a good cheap pair of earbuds to replace my standard apple earbuds. IEMs aren't really an option, as they are for wearing during work, I'm constantly moving around and the IEM seal is constantly lost. I have Sennheiser IE6s which sound great, the problem is I have to keep my...- Ringoko

Around-Ear headphones for mp3 player?
Thanks for the ATH-M50 recommendation, added to the shortlist. Are the Creatives circumaural? From what I've seen (an unboxing clip on youtube) the cups look like theyd sit on your ears. Also, I've just seen JVC HA-M750 going for £40, will have to research them a bit.- Ringoko

Around-Ear headphones for mp3 player?
I'm looking for a pair of closed, circumaural headphones for use with my ipod touch. I'd prefer to spend between £50-£100. (For anyone not in the UK, god knows what that translates to in your money. If it helps, the Sennheiser HD280pro, Creative Aurvana, and Sony MDR-NC60 all seem to fall...- Ringoko
