Hello, and thanks for reading my thread!
I'm looking for a pair of closed, sealed headphones primarily for portable use with an mp3 player. Would prefer them to be pretty durable, and with a collapsible/foldable headband to reduce risk of breakage.
As far as sound goes, I am looking for something that puts out decent bass, but without too much cost to the mids & treble, and a sealed design for sound isolation (as well as comfort - chunk of metal through fleshy surfaces makes non-circumaural 'phones less comfortable!)
I don't really want to spend more than £70 (which works out at near enough to $150), and would obviously prefer less.
I have had a pretty good look around, and seems difficult to find anything matching these specifications with a highly recommendable sound quality.
The best match that i've found are the Senn HD280 Pros (right price, collapsible, decent sound quality), but my problems with those would be the common complaints regarding bass and less common (but significant) instances of headband cracking.
Thanks for reading all that, and double-plus thanks to anyone who can meet these exacting requirements
