LineGaming wrote Just wanted to give a little suggestion out. I absolutely love me Beats By Dre headphones. I use them for everything. You can plug them into your tv and use them as headphones for gaming, they work with any type of music, and most important, they are very durable. Even though they are a little bit pricey, I definetly reccomend them.

Please tell me we haven't lost you to the easily manipulated by beats and apple race?

B.E.A.T.S= (Beats=Erroneous And Terrible Sound)

A recursive abbreviation - I like that.

Just noticed the part in the OP talking about cheap solutions for headphones on console. I know Xbox can use Kinect as a microphone, and with a headphone there isn't going to be any sound picked up from the games, so Xbox users with kinects can simply connect the headphones to their TV/monitor (with an extension cable if needed). I'm going to try connecting my E17 to the Xbox and see what kind of results I'm going to get. I doubt it'll work, but hey, worth a try.

Your budget: 20-25 Pounds (UK)

Which genres you'll be listening to: Dance music, Pop , Dubstep

What kind you want: In ear headphones

Whether you want open or closed headphones: Ones that go in my ear

What you are listening from: Ipod touch

Sorry guys, but I'm going to do a new request. I really want to make sure I'm spending my money in the right place as it doesn't come easy.

Budget: 130GBP

Music preferences: Bassy stuff (as low as 5Hz), house music, acoustic, Dubstep, DnB, liquid dubstep, stuff like Enigma sorta thing ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , opera, grime, garage, mainstream.

Type/form-factor: Around Ear

Open or closed: Closed (cannot leak any sound!!)

Listening from: Smartphone with exynos sound chip (SG S2)

Details: Have to be extremely comfortable, and they need to produce really good guitar strumming (I try and always get FLAC versions when available) I listen to very long periods of time. They have to be very smart looking, similar to that of the Bose AE2 (I know you don't like bose, but I like the design of them in terms of looks). Listen to Jason Mraz and Ed Sheeran (no hate plox)

I know I'm picky, but as I said I need to spend the money in the right place.


Also:
(For a friend)

Budget: 100 Euros

Music preferences: Same as me.

Type/form-factor: Around ear preferably

Open or closed: Closed (cannot leak any sound)

Listening from: iPad, BlackBerry

Details: Need to be comfortable.

Budget 125 all my mates tell me to buy beats solo hd but not listening to them
In ear, closed
Listen to a lot of different genres
Listening from iPod mic with it would be useful like talk control on the beats

Budget is 125 wouldn't let me edit about currency

The Soundmagic PL21 and JVC FX1X are the only ones I know of that are worth recommending.

As far as I can tell, these fit your needs best. As far as comfort goes, they seem to be nothing special either way. For your friend, I'd recommend the same. I don't know where he'd buy them, though, I'm unfamiliar with the European headphone market.

The Etymotic HF2 and HF3 are the only ones that fit the bill that have a mic, as far as I know.

I have looked at them, but the cable is 10ft long :russianroulette:

EDIT: You gotta save me R00t, I'm thinking more and more about getting Bose, especially as I can get them VAT free :S HELPPPPP

Look at this: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

For your friend, there are quite a few options (that you can also look at):
The Sony ZX700 is hilariously cheap: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The Denon D1100 is much bassier, but not as technically good: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]


And I wouldn't recommend Etys for most people; I love them, but they have a rather particular sound signature. In ear? The Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 would be slightly more agreeable. Do you absolutely need a mic? You really limit your options with that.

XBA-1 for $40. Should I pull the trigger?
