Best budget headphones under £100-200

[steve-z]

I’ve been using a pair of AKG K92 headphones for a couple of years and can recommend them, they can be had for about £40 if you hunt round. Nice and comfortable with an ingenious automatic headband adjustment, pretty vice free and non fatiguing on the sound quality front, decent length and sturdy cable.

One of the hardest things to recommend because a certain model can sound great on one system but not so great on another. However i just stick with my AKG 'K141, Mk.II' As a bonus these were Austrian made & if you happen to want a different lead or it gets damaged it is easily replaceable [Don't think applies to the Mk.I] You can also fit velour ear pads if you want.. These Phones can be had for about £40 used

Hello,
Take a look to the Beyerdynamic Dt 770,Dt880 or Dt 990. For the first usage are not Bad and Enthusiasmus.
When you would a little bit more take a look to the Denon Ah D5200 or the latest version Ah D2000,Ah D5000.But you can’t buy it new.Just the Ah D5200.
Some Hifiman‘s and Sennheiser Headphone are not bad and the Akg 704 too.

When you would a little bit more a Dac are recommandet.
You can read some review of Headphones but is better you listen and decide yourself what you find good.
A nother good thing are to read some expression from Amazon Reviews for the choise.

Thanks for all the suggestions chaps but I should have mentioned I do need closed back headphones as anything that leaks too much sound will not go down well with the lady sitting next too me

Hard getting good close backs.. Those i use dont leak too much..

Also got a pair of Sony 'MDR-V6' ive not used for a while, they are good classic headphones, but you have to be careful for counterfeits.. or the Sony 'MDR-7502' You can fit Beyer Dynamic 'EDT-250V' Velour ear pads to both these models..

Are these for you, or for your friend?

Also, are they only going to be used in your home, or a controlled environment, or could they be used for travelling? Headphones for travel might be different. Might need for example noise cancelling, remote, mic for phone input. I’ve seen people walking with huge cans on their heads, so anything is possible these days.

I've asked him to hold them for you shall I tell him not to bother? They're semi open apparently but should be ok for what you want.
