The perfect headphone for you.

Thanks I appreciate it, a friend of mine has beats and i listened to them yesterday and they are nice but are around $300 also, but i have a gift card, so should i get the beats because i can get it for cheaper?

No, the Pro 900 slaughters the Beats in every imaginable way. Seriously, compare them if/when you get them!

ok i have had beats and well there now broke and i only really want to spend a maximum of 30 pounds so what do you recommend

USING THIS.

And above, AKG K518?

Surprise! Come to the light side. And yes, the AKG K518 would be great. The Sony XB500 is also worth recommending.

You tried to prove us wrong without any evidence. I don't get it.

your not even paying attention to what im saying!!! im done

OK, let's say that we haven't done any research. Where are your sources, then?

heyo guys,

just stopping by to say that after an extensive testing session at my local headphone store i promptly went on ebay and placed an order for the sennheiser hd25-1 ii's

they sound absolutely amazing, nice tight bass, certainly not enough to satisfy real bass heads but more than enough for me. What really made them stand out was the fact that everything just sounded so crisp, i compared them to a pair of beyerdynamic on ear's at a similar price point (can't remember model number sorry) and they sounded much nicer and more 'organized' in my humble opinion.

the only problem i had was that they sounded a bit too quiet even at max volume with nothing but my iphone to power them, so i may consider getting an amp pretty soon.

unfortunately i didn't even get to try on the TMA-1's as I was pretty much deadset on getting the HD25's the second i put them on my head so i really can't compare the two.

So thanks guys for all your help yet again, and if you're ever looking to recommend an all around great on ear headphone to anyone ITT, i can personally vouch for the HD25's being awesome (hopefully my opinion won't change after I get them)

cheers!

Nice to hear you got to try them! And I would not worry about the TMA-1; from what you said you liked about the HD 25-1 they would not have impressed you. I wish I had gotten the HD 25-1 over the TMA-1, but that was a learning experience so I hardly regret it.

We recommend the HD 25 a lot! Not many people seem to want on-ear cans, though, so that's relatively speaking. They're absolutely incredible for rock, isolation's top-notch, and they're indestructible. If you want extra power, I'd recommend the Fiio E11 or a nice Cmoy. They both have a nice bass boost, too.

Glad to see you're getting in to headphones and enjoying it! Sorry about your wallet!
