My old Sennheisers & Sony's have seen better days, so after plumping for purchasing the FiiO DAC headphone amplifier I wanted a decent pair of headphones for listening to electronic music from my laptop.

Not too exensive, plus I don't DJ .. no high end Pioneers, Allen & Heaths etc. needed.

Was looking at:

AKG-450's

Sennheiser PX-200's

Re: Headphones ?

i would go for hd 25 sp's simon but maybe a bit expensive considering what ur looking @ but they will last and last and last forever, i,ve had the same set of hd 25's for well over a decade now and only had to replace the pads twice

Re: Headphones ?

i'll say go for the hd-25 as well ... don't remember how long i've have mine but i've only sent it in once to replace the pads as well and the cables due to wear and tear

Grado SR80? That's what I'm considering for my next pair.

Re: Headphones ?

Excellent stuff simonr! I bought a pair of Senheisser HD 25 SP II Two years ago, and their are excellent. Strong build for Dance Music: excellent bass, good isolation, confort, and of course 10/10 value. However, 3 month ago the cable has broke up, and each cable cost around $ 60, so take care well of the headphones. :)
