Best Heaphones under £50

stuart2k7 · 22-01-2008, 10:48 PM

Im looking for some headphones for under £50.
They will mainly be used for my PS3 and Movies. Preferably i would like the to be wireless but its not too important, if they are they need to not make white sound like the goodmans ones i have at the moment.
If they are wireless i would also like them not to have to be plugged in the mains.

Hope you can help me, thanks.

a bad choice!! Skullcandy doesn't really have a good name in the headphone world. Sorry i didn't get here sooner or else i would have aksed to to consider either the CrossRoads Mylars

www.jaben.net

or the excellent Ultimate Ears metro.fi 2 earphones. Both will destroy the Skullcandy's, although the metro.fi 2 are closer to top end of your £50 budget, ....althought not any more, they're down to £29.99 which means you should be kicking yourself right now. if i was you, i'd send the Skull candy's back and get a pair of the metro.fi's...:

you could have gone for a pair of the brand new Denon AH-D301's from the U.S. these willl be £39.99 when they're lauched in the UK according to my contact at Denon, but you can grab them for around £25.

The Audio-Technica ATH-WM5 are light weight, comfortable, had excellent sound fidelity, a longish cord so I can be comfortably away from my stereo. If you are looking for headphones that are a good bargain for the money and have a limited budget, these are it.

On the Ultimate Ears topic, I'm looking to spend £50-100 on a new pair of in-ears. UE or Shure?

Cosmetic, I know, but I like the shorter cable of the Shures because they're going to be used with a BluEye in-line remote Bluetooth thingy.
