New member Username: ChodeczPost Number: 9 Registered: Sep-04 | Hi, I am looking to buy new headphones, as my old ones have just broke! I'm looking for something more than just the usual crap at local electrical stores. I want to know what are the best sounding (full range + bass) headphones, within a budget of £50 ($90 USD). I will be using the headphones primarily for music, followed closely by films. I like nice sounding bass and a nice quality full-range sound. The headphones will not be amped btw. Any suggestions will be most welcome! (I have looked at some Sennheiser headphones?? =are they good? Best models?) Thanks. |

Silver Member Username: ScubasteveCollege Park, MD Post Number: 638 Registered: May-05 | didn't you say on a different thread that they need to be amped? |

Silver Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY USA Post Number: 160 Registered: Oct-04 | The Alessandro MS-1's need amping for portable use (maybe I didn't state that). I have a DELL DJ JUKEBOX, and it is insufficient, so is my wifes iPod mini. When I listen to the MS-1's through my receiver, a MARANTZ SR5400, they are dead neutral & crystal clear. |

Silver Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY USA Post Number: 161 Registered: Oct-04 | At that price, they better. |

Silver Member Username: ScubasteveCollege Park, MD Post Number: 696 Registered: May-05 | people over at Head-fi are saying they're a better deal than the MS-1 even at twice the price, comparing them to Grado's reference stuff. And plus, its all Grado anyway, I trust him to give me a good deal. |
