Heaphones help

Hey guys,

I'm looking for some new headphones, nothing too brilliant, just over the head ones I can use to/from school etc, on a modest budget of £20. I've found 3 pairs, and was just wondering which you think are best or any others you would recommend:
Skullcandy Hesh

Sennheiser HD201

Sennheiser HD205

Thanks guys

I like the HD201's they were excellent, although I would recommend the CX500, they are also sennheiser..within you're budget.

guarantee you will not be dissapointed by those.

Re: Heaphones help

Stay well clear of Skull Candy, they are style before substance. At that budget any Sennheiser set would be good, you might find a good in ear set better for what you need though.

Creative EP-830 In Ear Headphones: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

These are especially good for the money, on par if not better than the Sennheiser CX300.

Re: Heaphones help

I'd go for senns everytime. You can pick up a pair of hd202's for £15 on Amazon. The 205's you mentioned are also a nice set or eh150's which are also £15 on Amazon. If you can stretch to £30 the hd212 are unbeatable at that price.
