I know cheap and good do not come it to play with headphones but I have been using
a pair of Numarks the last two years and not really found them to be that bad.

I want something a bit better that will not damage my ears as much.
I do not think thay have as I never need them too loud but all the same. :)

Max budget £20. Only joking :p - £50 if I must.

Hi there

Well i use the Sony MDR-V700 which i am very happy with :) but maybe a little out of your price range stated (just checked and cannot believe it - i paid around £70 for mine a few years ago, and they are now selling from £85 - £105 !!!! )

I have a brand new set of Stanton DJ Pro 2000 (make me an offer ;) ) i'll get in trouble now lol

Thank you

Glenn

You should have got your BPM ticket early - you'd have got a free pair of ADJ HP550's. Between Joe (my nipper) and I, we've won 4 pairs of headphones in the last 3 years - so keep your eyes open for competition with headphones as runners-up prizes.

Back in the day I used to find headphones were like sunglasses - every time I bought a good pair I did something stupid and broke them. Build quality is much better now than it was in the eighties - treat yourself!

You wont be disappointed. The ONLY con is the lead can sometimes get a little tangled.

Dont be such a cheapskate. I've said this before. Those Numarks are like fisher price in comparison.

Did not think of Ebay.

You could always buy replacement ear pads. I only recommended that link due to your budget. Buy new for an extra £30 or so!

Dean was shopping for new headphoens at BPM, and I think we tried every type on offer. the Ariel7's really stood out. Fantastic sound. Deep bass and really sharp top end.
