    Default Thinking about buying some Headphones

    After a 2 year break I'll be going back on shifts as of Monday.
    I'd like to buy a set of headphones for late night listening so would appreciate any recommendations. I'd like headband style no in ears.

    My budget........ Well no more than £65 if at all possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    Grado SR60e... Slightly more expensive (69 quid from Amazon) but well worth it.

    Grado SR60e. Excellent sound, but can get uncomfortable if worn for extended periods of time.

    I would change the earpads to the ring shaped ones. More comfortable and sound better that way to me.

    Do they produce deep bass?

    I'm a Sennheiser guy myself, with a rather old pair at that. But a friend who does recording engineering for classical ensembles likes the Sony MDR-7506. These are apparently quite the thing in the pro recording community (Google it...). And a bargain to boot....about US$65 at Amazon.com. Hopefully similar over there.

    I have AKG K550s, which I love to bits. Closed back, no shortage of bass. Mk 2 version being sold off at Richers for £99. Some 551s, virtually unused, on ebay at mo. for £69.
