    Default WTD over ear headphones

    Looking for a pair of cheap but good quality over the ear headphones. Vintage fine but must work without distortion.

    Cheers

    How much are you looking to spend?

    Are they purely for home use?

    They are primarily for low level listening but must have a good frequency range, meaning from top to bottom.

    Not looking to spend much as not for critical listening.

    Probably an idea to (a) state your budget range and (b) which can amp you'll be using with them, and, depending on (b), whether you prefer low (50 ohms ish) or high (300 ohms+) impedance. Other aspects like cord length and comfort/weight limitations, whether boxed, etc. might narrow down what people may offer. Have a bump. Personally I'd recommend something around the Sennheiser 600/650 mark (£125 to £225 used) but Beyer and others may be viable options. If around £500, there are some choice cans (Focal, e,g.) but your sources and amplification need to warrant this level.
