Hello all!
Greetings from the UK
After owning my Grado SR60i's for a while (ok well not that long.. (a year (ish))) and using them pretty much everyday throughout then, someone stood on my bag with them inside.. Thus, the mounting bracket on between the right hand side has snapped.. Which brings me onto my next topic, what would everyone recommend for a pair of portable on or over ear headphones?
I'm currently looking at between $250 and $500 (£180-£300 GBP) and my current options are:
Bowers and Wilkins P5 (Not the best sounding, but truly beautiful and sumptuous).
Aedle VK1 (haven't heard much about them, certainly look nice though).
Beyerdynamic T51P (No nonsense sound quality..)
On another note, I'm also on a hunt for an amp, as I'm going to be using these off my phone (Nexus 5) I would rather a portable one ideally for sub $170 , so amp suggestions are welcome too; although these would have to be included in the $500 overall budget (eg $500 headphones but no amp or $330 headphones and $170 amp).
Thanks in advance!
