Hi i really wanted to buy myself a great pair of headphones untill i figured out i don't know anything about them so i'd really like your advice my budget is 100 - 130 euro.

I use headphones the whole day walking to school walking home at the PC and in my spare time and i listin to every type of music, and can someone just explain to me do open back headphones let in alot of noise ? looking forward to your responses

oh and at the moment i am using ATH-SJ1 that my friend got me a year back what are your thoughts on them

Yes open headphones will let noise in, since they do not isolate. Maybe the Senn HD25 is the one for you.

for homes and away use, i really can't think of a better pair of headphones. O.K. i do have the 25-1's, but they are very good. clamping effect is quite hard though.

you might want to consider the Audio Technica ATH-ES7's, but beware becasue they are plenty of fakes on the market.

i had my eyes on Audio Technica ATH-ES7 i wasnt to sure tho about them :] thanks for clearing it up for me hopeful thay have a pair of them or the senn HD 25

 

[captian73]

like i said, be careful of the ES7's 'cause there are many counterfeits out there.

anything specific to look out for and what do you think of the grado sr80i i read here that people like them

Hi,
Do you want better quality sound or a mix of this and still looking cool? If you wanna look cool then I can't help as I have four kids

If you want decent sound for your money then I can only offer my opinion and hope it may help you. For good sounds I've never found a cheap (relatively) pair of supra-aural headphones (they sit on top of the ears i.e. like the ones you've got) that could produce a hearty dynamic range, and at a decent volume (I like my tunes loud). Even when I've liked a particular pair I always needed a break after an hours listening as they made the ears ache from listening fatigue and compression. Plus the fact that they leak like a you know what always put me off them. Flip side of leakage is isolation and open back or closed back supra-aural won't do it for you either.
I have the answer though - in-ear headphones!
Bass, mid range, top end, whatever you want to call them the in-ear phones will be better AND they isolate much better due to the fact that they are basically ear plugs.
Did I mention the BASS!!!

And to top it all off they leak the least out of any music to ear devices simply due to the low energy levels required to drive the, erm.. drivers!

Just my opinion

Maybe also consider SRH840.

 

[raisen1259]

Well if they look cool the better XD but i am more for the sound and i don't now why but in-ear really annoy me after a extremely short time :[ i am looking into the SRH 840 now xD

[raisen1259]

I went to get them today and all i could find was the senn HD 25 and the version 2 however i was 20euro short T.T i'll try another place or maybe try an order online for cheaper value
