I'm a fan of these for desktop duty while I'm working. Warm tone, some would find them a bit rolled off on the highs for studio cans but for me that makes them a relaxing listen. No concession to style, the wiring adds a touch of Cyberman chic. Usually go for no more than £30 which in these days of pimped up headphones is a bargain.

Sennheiser make some good headphones. I had a pair (forget the model, but from memory they looked almost identical to those shown), however like most headphones the foam earpads started to disintegrate.

They look good - I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD 560S to try "open back" headphones, but not used them a great deal so far. Interesting that those on eBay have a "curly cord" - headphones always used to have that, but seems to have gone by the wayside these days.

Only thing I use headphones for is Teams meetings. Can't abide them for listening to music.

Agree with you regarding the use of headphones to listen to music. I don't like the "in your head" effect, or when you turn your head the whole perceived sound stage moves as well - it's unnatural.
However I do sometimes use headphones with my computer, but only for short periods of time.

Worth what he's asking IMO. But you will need a big room and a meaty amp.

Supposed to be very good these.Originally Posted by Macca
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
