I'm thinking of buying a pair, any suggestions to competitors?
No bose please.
Bob-sama
Sony's got bass-head cans around. Take a look at their store.

Koss Portapros/Koss KSC75/Sennheiser PX100. If you want something REALLY good, get the Grado SR60s, although the ones i've listed above are sufficient. But the grado is pretty cheap.

I'm going to suggest sehnheiser, there's no way you need to spend that much on headphones anyway. You can get perfect crystal clear sound for no more than £50.

A pair of eh 350s should work perfectly (although i don't fully understand the ranking system) for whatever you throw at them.

Why not Bose? They're much better than Beats and are 2/3 the price. I've got Bose In-Ears and On-Ears and both have amazing sound. And yes, I used a friend's Beats for a week, because he believed his were better than my Bose On-Ears. Once he tried my pair, he agreed mine sounded better with the same music.

Are you using them with an iPod? Because you could probably edit the inbuilt sound options, and that would make things sound alot nicer too.

Some high-end headphones sound best with no EQ'ing. They are meant to be played just how the music is. I know it's that way with my Bose, at least. They tell me to turn my iPod EQ off. Although I've got constant Bass Booster on my laptop and when I plug my headphones into it, it sounds just fine. Not too much of a difference between no EQ and Bass Booster.

Don't think that stylish looking means good sound. I have these and they work amazing: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-202-He...d_bxgy_e_text_b

I guess I can get a few HD202s, but are they comfortable?

I know that stylish does not always equal good sound quality. Bose somehow does that, though. I'm particular about my music quality and have to qualms about Bose and paying for them. I can't listen to songs with low encoding, or on cheap speaker sets.

Go for it. And if you don't like 'em. Sell 'em.

Ahh, okay, I don't know much about headphones, but I wasn't sure if you were EQ'ing or not smile.gif

Good luck~

If your ears are as big as Bob-sama's then you won't like them, he says they don't fit/put too much pressure on the top of your ear.

How about Sony MDR XB700?

The reason I'm not getting Bose is because I'm got their earbuds fairly recently.

Okay, good reason then. tongue.gif I thought you had something against Bose. Those Sony's don't look too bad, but they have sound leakage. Not the best pair out there.

I have a pair of HD 212 Pros, they're pretty much the same design and although they can feel restrictive when you first put them on you will soon get used to them... like your ears are getting massaged by music.

If you can though, get the same ones i have. The sound quality makes it just that little bit more worth it.

I think lots of people are falling for these just because they are made by some famous rapper...

OR it can be possible that I am looking for some, and I tried them at best buy, and was impressed by the quality.

Anyways: How about audio-technica
Sagara
yeah i liked the sennheiser headphone aspecialy the wireless as the sound is just heavenly plus i bet that it costs alot more than it's worth just because it's name after a rapper
