hi
i have had some audio techica ath-sj5s for years now and never had the money to upgrade. i got a voucher for amazon.co.uk and the goldring and senn. are both about £40 (voucher amount).
 
is there a clear winner?
 
i know they are open and closed cans but that wont matter.
 
i also noticed that my current  headphones are more then £50 on amazon but im sure price is meaningless especially on that site.
 
thanks for any advice.

I prefer the Goldring over the Sennheiser, but it's a matter of preferences. I didn't like the HD428 when I tried a pair.

second vote for the dr150 im listening to them now.  what do you listen to another phone thats in your budget is the samson sr850 which i see gets reccomended however ive never listened to them personally so cant compare to the dr150

thanks for the reccomendations.
i listen to all sorts but for example today it was
frightened rabbit
johnny flynn
nina simone
underworld
andres landero
van morrison
greens keepers
ernest ranglin
robert johnson
bon iver
 
i looked at the samson and superlux because the akg k271 is the phone i have always really wanted but the ear pad looks horrible.
 
so it 2-0 for the dr 150
