Decent Headphones?

[Ravello]

I have some sennheiser ones, i forget the model but they are comfy and sound excellent IMO. Cost about £100

I would find a shop you can try them on for comfort.

WDS

Excellent noise cancelling on them as well.

Ta, I'll have a look.

These are excellent:

ESP950 Electrostatic Headphones - full size headphones - headphones - products - koss headphones

Sadly, wearing them is like having your head in a vice, and not in a good way.

There's a good way to have your head in a vice?

Mmmm

I think you have a different type of vice in mind...

OK they don't seem to make the exact ones I have any more, this seems to be this years version:

Sennheiser UK - HD 558

I also have some of these Sennheiser UK - HD 280 PRO which aren't actively noise cancelling but block out noise like ear muffs.

I bought the missus some cordless ones a while ago as well

They all go around the ear rather than on top of it which I find a lot more comfortable, it does make them bulkier though. I wasn't keen on the AKG ones as they mostly sit on top.

AKG or Beyerdynamics.

Sennheiser are alright but IMO poorly made and not as long lasting.

I bought these for the studio as they were cheap and would do for singers being recorded with a backing track. Amazing value for money at around £40.

Wow there is a whole new world out there for the true headphone connoisseur! FWIW I like the Denons as they're seemingly made from wood.
