ps. will be here, at PC for a about 1 hour, next need to go

Note that Jennyr wrote the above at 3.19pm UK time.

He will now be in the shop, hopefully buying a stylish pair of headphones for his wife's birthday.

I hope he will tell us how he got on!

The only headphones I have absolutely hated - and returned for a refund, were the Grados.
Don't go there. Some people love them, some hate them. Too risky if she hasn't tried them.

I fear your advice has come too late!

Thanks, don't have enough time for review websites, so maybe someone just post 1-5 variants to buy without long reading

Wall of Fame on that site is quick and a good place to start.

If you can find them, Status Audio OB-1’s.

 

[Jennyr]

Thanks for help for all! Many thanks!

I finally bought flowers and a cool vaponizer kit she also wanted. Buying a quality headphones is not so easy as I thought, will read more your advices and read reviews for next time. Thanks again for all!

 

[Jennyr]

Could you buy her a gift certificate and let her choose?

Year, seems this variant is more correct. I even never thought about wireless options and so on.

Thanks for reporting back - a happy wife means a happy life!

Off the top of my head try the Audio-Technica ATH-WS1100iS. Great all round pair of headphones and are usually under $150 I believe.

I personally love the Sennheiser HD280Pro headphones for my digital piano. These would work great for pretty much anything you're looking to do with music. I also use them for recording vocals.

No doubt

Thanks, will look at Audio-Technica ATH-WS1100iS and Sennheiser HD280Pro

Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee for $160 on Massdrop or HiFiMan HE4xx for $170, it does NOT get much better than that in sub $600 price range.

Not necessarily the highest fidelity choice, but last generation versions of the Sony wireless headphones can be had for cheap. I got the Sony h900Ns for about $100, and they sound quite good. The amps and processing in them optimize the sound, and the noise canceling is a god send, even if not the most effective out there.

Headphones for less than 100$

Just try AKG K72 or AKG K92(59$) (K72 are 30$ now on discount)
I bet you would be pleasantly surprised and can keep the rest of the money for something else!

 

[weissi]

Regarding wearing comfort, imho nothing beats AKG K70x. You'll need a potent amplifier though.

Takstar Pro 82 - anyone ?

 

[audiogaga]

Looking for top 2 choices

Can anyone suggest their top 2 choices for wired headphones with noise cancelling? Thanks...

 

[Bigun]

I have Bose wired noise cancelling phones, they are super comfortable, sound quality is very good - I believe the use of noise cancelling goes hand in hand with DSP so you get a well tailored frequency response. Contrast that with some Grado 60's I had - like sticking toothpicks in your ears.

It may be a bit over budget, but sennheiser is always a winner

What are the best cheap wireless headphones?
