But if I was you I would wait for some sweet deal on the Head-Fi "For sale" forum. (You are in UK though). Meier audio - http://www.meier-audio.de/ ships worldwide with shipping cost included.

Thanks very much for that, thats exactly what I needed, to have a look at some names and see, ones that aren't canal...

Cheers, seriously.

Reading back, and the guys above...

I'll look at them and get back to you, all the mentioned ones.

Having had a look, all of them look good...

Some of them aren't available at the meir audio place, although they sound good. I don't understand all these Sen's you keep referencing. I found the First sen's that were talked about... Are all the others the same? Links, if not, please..

?

So, out of the mentioned ones, I need some solid answers... Which ones?

Thanks.

Sennheiser 25s were flavour of the month a while back, I read good and bad comments about them. See if you can try before you buy, or buy from a place with a good return policy.

Given you want to take them on and off often, i'd look at compact full sized headphones. Beyerdynamic 250-80 or Sony V6 might do the job well.

The HD25-1's are much better than the HD25-SP's, the bass is terribly inflated on the SP's, they also lack the durability of the regular HD25-1's. If I was in your shoes I'd go wild and just let that budget snip over a bit to get the HD25-1's - after all, a budget is just an advisery guideline

I have the HD 25-1's and am very happy with them for portable use.

The 25-1's I could get... Shall I bite?

Just in budget... when I've stretched it a little...

The Sony V6 are quite cheap... Do they still sound as good as the Sens will? I mean, is it very noticable...? The Beyerdynamic 250-80 look nice too.

Ok. I'll say, those 3 are the shortlist. Lets say money is no issue between the Sens and Byer's, the sonys are allowed to a little bit worse because they are cheaper.

Which one, of those three? I'll try find somewhere I can try them too...
