Cheap but decent headphones for NW-HD5

24-11-2005, 6:26 PM

Can someone suggest some relatively cheap headphones (£20 max) that provide the best quality for a HD5. I have a nasty habbit of buying utterly rubbish headphones, and really want to get the most out of my HD5. THX!

Sennheiser HD457's are about that price, and although they grip my head abit, sound quality is the best I've heard around that price range.

I would go for the Koss The Plug, they sound really good for their price, and if You are a bass fan, You will be amazed...

Also not in-ear but sound good, Koss KSC55. Don't let the low price put you off. I wanted a low cost but not in-ear headphones for my MP3 player (NW-HD5 - with output mod) so asked on the Headwize forum and many people recommended these and it was a good recommendation. The only downside is the band (hook over ears, behind your head) can get uncomfortable after several hours - and I'm not sure of availabilty in the UK. I tried simliar price Sennheiser and Sony's - and IMHO Koss KSC55 just blow them away - which surprised me a Koss weren't known as 'top' brand.
