Around ear headphones for under £70?

I have been thinking of getting some sort of around ear headphones as i do not like in ear Shure's. I looked at Bose Triports, very good quality, but not very well built. Maybe not worth the £100?
Is there a cheaper equivelant with the same quality of sound?
Price range of £50-80 max.


Thanks.

Velour ear pads?
I think thats the material i cant stand the feel of. I could possibly try them in a shop somewhere.
They look quite chunky. My main problem is the material of the ear pads. I like the synthetic leather.

i'd have to agree with gtcarling. you're getting headphones worth £150 for £85.

the only other suggestion is the Grado Sr 60 or Sr 80 http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/sennhei...Headphones.htm

but if you do that, i recommned that you invest in a pair of sennheiser HD414 earpads. http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/s...roduct_id/5386
