Hi. I am looking to buy a pair of headphones for one of my friends as a gift. Here are the things she is looking for
- Her main concern is comfort. She wears glasses and doesn't want the headphones to hurt her ears after a while.
- She doesn't care about look and brand.
- She will be using the headphones for digital piano and her laptop, so I would prefer the headphones to include a 1/4" to 1/8" or 1/8" to 1/4" converter.
- Sound quality isn't that important for her.
- The headphones must not require an amp to sound good.
- Open or closed headphones, doesn't really matter
Right now I am looking to spend about US$50 maximum. But if $50 isn't enough for a pair of very comfortable headphones, then I can increase the budget a bit (but not too much as she doesn't like receiving expensive gifts). I can buy from overseas, but that is only if the seller is willing to ship the phones to NZ.
I have zero experience with budget headphones so I really hope you guys can help me out.
