simon ess 18 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Budget is £100. Very happy to go second hand. I currently have Sennheiser PX100. I like the overall sound but they are somewhat lacking in detail. But then I'm comparing them to the Sennheiser HD650's I had some years ago. They were fantastic. Only sold them to raise a bit of cash. So, I'm looking to get as close to that level as I can for my budget. I don't need wireless or noise cancelling or any of that kind of thing. Thanks Edited December 25, 2020 by simon ess info Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JamesSmith 0 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I have a pair of H212 Pro and they are some of the best headphones I have. Shit build quality though. That being said though build quality is pretty low down on my requirement list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stargazer 130 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I bought approx week ago the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80ohms (studio) for £109. Since then I have not stopped listening to music via my laptop. They are good for most genres of music, a balanced sound with immersive qualities, good sound stage and the bass is self evident (not the most tuneful). I am now saving for a IfiZenDac but in no hurry as they sound so good anyway. If you love Classical music you will get the benefit of their resolution.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amormusic 841 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) How do some Sennheiser HD 598SR tickle your fancy? Ping me PM if int. Bought recently from Jerry. They're good but I prefer my other pair. Edited January 7 by Amormusic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, a different beast entirely compared to the PX100, but that's to be expected I suppose. I've currently got them hooked up to the phones socket on a Yamaha A-S500 so can't really evaluate their full potential. They are very nice though. I might think about an amp in the near future. Thanks for asking BTW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A little birdy told me there's a beaut of a Creek amp combo in the classifieds btw 👍 Ps - I meant your old ones, as in the recollection of your HD650's.

Haha - I won't be spending any more money for a while now. I had the 650s connected to a Graham Slee amp, so unfair to compare but, as far as I remember, they were quite a lot crisper and punchier than these. These do seem a little muddled and vague somehow in comparison, but to what extent is that the amp? Just to add, I'm not a headphone fan. I just get the urge for late night volume sometimes.
