We will be in touch
I've got a set of Sennheiser HD201s which seem good to me but I used them on the turbo too often and now they smell funny... I'm just looking for a second set, mostly for TV use. Is there anything else in the same sort of sub-£40, over ear, insulating but not neccesarily noise-cancelling, wireless would be nice but not paying much for it, way?
Directional wireless obviously, as I am audiofool.
Got my daughter some August 650 Bluetooth for about 32 quid to use with the iPad , very impressed for the money
Maplin do some good ones for circa £20
Slightly above budget but at got some bluetooth Sony headphones from Argos a few weeks back reduced from £100 to £50.

Superlux HD662 are superb.
Cheers folks
This is a genuinely ignorant question... I'll be using them mostly with a TV rather than PC, so with a bluetooth set, does it come with a transmitter or something or is it expecting the hardware to be bluetooth compatible? I had a look at the Sony phones there and couldn't tell.
is it expecting the hardware to be bluetooth compatible?
Yes, but you can buy a bluetooth audio receiver for less than a tenner, for kit that doesn't have native bluetooth.
Picked up some Takstar pro 80 direct from China for £40.. Very similar to beyerdynamic but you will be pushed to find a better set for £40.
Absolute recommendation.

After a bit of googling around, decided to try the AKGs as I had some amazon credit to spend- if they're not great, Woppit's getting it. Cheers folks!
Also following on from this, I wanted to get another set of headphones for the pc at work and also went for the AKG K99. They are spot on, good overall balanced sound if a little bass heavy. Well worth the money tho. +1 from me.
I've got tin ears from too much heavy metal and motorbikes so I can only tell if stuff's outright bad, and pleased to say the AKGs are not that- possibly a bit more balanced than the Sennheisers in fact but then that might just be a bit of personal taste.
The comfort's definitely ace though, they just fall onto my head perfectly, lovely. Very happy

Interested. But can other people hear your music when you're wearing them?

/p>Interested. But can other people hear your music when you're wearing them?
Yes, closed back / noise canceling they are not! Not loads of noise leakage, but others can hear what you are listening too.
OK - thanks. Given how much other peoples leaky headphones annoy me, I'll not be a hypocrite 🙂
Going to recommend these RHA because I use them and like them lot, and before these I used Creative Aurvana Live which were more expensive at the time (£100 vs £50), I liked those more but not by a lot and they were heavy things.. These RHA are very nearly comparable for general use.

If I was spending another 30 I'd have the Grado SR60e
