.... I have just managed to fook a £70 pair of cans (big headphones) and they are only a few months old

didn't drop em or anything, they work but get this nasty buzzing on heavy bass

Gotta look for a new pair now

 

Stu,

If you like Beyer DT100 - then they are more or less indictructable.......thing is not too comfy though

 

these puppies, they are HUGE

 

Those ARE DT100

Proper studio h/phones............standard issue in all UK/EEC radio stations/TV facilities

 

I use a set of Pioneer HDJ1000's they are suposed to be pretty bulletproof, obviously not up to the ones Doug suggested but cheaper perhaps?

 

I have Shure E5's. Very expensive, but ultimate sound. I'm a DJ by trade (but the E5's aren't for my type of work use - just for pleasure)!

 

I've only ever used Sennheiser myself.

Had the HD25sp's then upgraded to the HD25's, excellent headphones, simply cannot fault them.
Closed back, very lightweight, excellent sound quality and go very loud.



Lots of people seem to use the Sony MDR700v but I think they are way to heavy & whilst they do go louder the sound quality is nowhere near as good and the don't keep external noise out as well.

 

I have hd25 sp's as well. Really like em. Lasted well and still give good sound!

Use Sennheiser

 

use in ear earphones if they are only for pleasure you'd be surprised what a good set sound like, specially something like shure e5's.
