Guys I really need your help cause I'm confused, I'm searching for a closed headphones for under 100€ with nice bass.
I listen pretty much everything, from Rock-Metal to Hip-Hop and Electronic, but lately I'm always on trance and d&b.
Thank you :apple:

V-Moda M-100's. Got them on Christmas and they blow my old Audio-Technica's (which were great for the price) out of the water! So impressed with them! :D

I guess I also have like 4 pairs of ear buds and 3 pairs of ear pods too, but I only use them for working out or when I'm riding the CTA and don't wanna get jacked. If I'm doing anything else I use these

Nice. I didn't even realize the M-100's were coming out. I was considering the M-80's and DT 1350's before I settled on the amperiors.

How are the Astro A50's?

Truthfully I have nothing to which to compare them and so my comments are based on audio quality as opposed to gaming audio specifics. I have never used another pair of gaming headphones. Musically they are not a patch on the B&Ws.

As far as gaming experience goes, they don't mach up to my true surround sound setup, which I think is spectacular. But they do a god job of reproducing the audio experience, but don't expect surround sound performance.

I would like to ry the PX5s from turtle beach.

Does that help?

Not my picture because I don't want to stop listening to them :D Got these Bose AE2 headphones right after Christmas and I absolutely love them. I also have the Sennheiser HD280s I posted a while back but they would get so uncomfortable after wearing them for a while, and the cord was a bit cumbersome for my taste. Also have the EarPods that came with my iPhone 5, but I don't really use them too much.

I own two pairs of in-ear headphones, one headphone and one pair of Apple's new EarPods. These are the ones I currently have a photo of because of a recent blog post. They're nice for their inexpensive price.

always been a focal fan. how are they?

My first Focal product. I was in NYC a couple of months ago and went over to J&R with every intention of buying the Parrot Zik's.

Well I tried about 20 pair of headphones on in the store, and gave these a listen. Did not buy, but rather read up all over on review sites.

I bought them finally on Amazon around Thanksgiving time. I really do enjoy them!

They sound spectacular, fit very well on my head, and do not hurt my ears like others. I used them on a 10 hour flight and was very happy with the build quality, the noise canceling, and the overall comfort.

Really, they are a quality product for the price. Quite frankly; as much as I looked around, for the price and quality of product- I have yet to see a better set of cans at his price point.

Granted, I got them on Amazon (open box, like new) for 139.00.

I am not an audiofile (professional reviewer), but I like my music and know my "feel" for the sound. These won hands down.

My son who has the Seinheiser HD-25-II, and is a "snob" for his headphones :eek:- even found these outstanding. I could see the jealousy in his eyes.:D

Give them a listen if you have an opportunity, I think you may be rather pleased.

Comes with a real nice hard zip case
excellent iphone cord (braided cloth covered) with an aluminum control mic
will take an additional straight cord- non mic, from any standard set. I had an extra beats cord from my wife's I use with them, as the cans have a jack to plug into (not permanent cable).

well, that went a little on now ..... sorry for the lengthy post.

tldr- love em.

I'm looking at getting the RHA SA950i headphones, and see that they've got pretty much all positive reviews. Just wondering if anyone has any hands on experience with them and could possibly compare them to some similar priced cans?

Toyed with the idea of stretching for B&W P3 or 5s but I really can't justify spending more than £50-£75 on headphones at this point :(

I use the Klipsch Image S4i's. They are very comfortable to full day use. The best thing about them is the warranty though. After trying dozens of earbuds, I've come to the conclusion that no matter what, they stop working eventually. Fortunately with Klipsch, you send them one email and they ship you out another when they stop working.

Ive used many headphones spending upwards of £60 but all been quite mediocre or have broken. Needed a new pair quickly i picked up a pair of Sennheiser Cx150s for £14.99 and haven't looked back. I really think these headphones are phenomenal for the price tag. Highly recommend!
