Any recommendations for a decent pair of headphones. The requirements are:
- Under £100
- Light weight
- Closed back
- Over ear
- Easy to drive (driven directly from laptop)
- Works well with low quality audio files i.e. Youtube, mp3 etc.
- Durable
It's a Christmas present for my girlfriend, let's just say she's not the type to listen to lossless FLAC files or Bluray quality movies. Therefore, the headphones have to be very forgiving. She doesn't really notice details etc. much and said my Fidelio X1 sounded 'OK' but was too heavy but liked the fact that it's over the ear. Oh yes and closed back is a must (this is more for my benefit than hers ).
Thanks,
Tom
