    Default Can Anyone Recommend On Ear Headphones?

    Want to by Colin some 'on ear' phones for Christmas... I last purchased some AKG K450's some years ago which have been fantastic but they are now falling apart

    Can anyone recommend some good 'on ear' phones upto maybe about £70?

    Thanks all

    Hi, I would get some of these: https://www.jaysheadphones.com/v-jays

    Have used portables for years, Koss Porta Pro, AKG, Sennheisers, Sonys etc., and these are my favourites so far. More clear & open than Koss Porta Pros, but have their deep & fun sound, tighter bass on the Jays V-Jays too.

    How about some Beyer DT100 or DT150`s. The DT100`s are about £70.00 and the DT150`s about £100.00.
    They are very comfortable and spares are readily available.
    I am very pleased with mine :-)

    They're not on-ear though, they're over-ear 'cans'. :P
