    Im looking into getting some new headphones (Around the ear ones), specfically for music. Dont mind what they look like as long as they deliver good quality sound. Looking at around ?100.00 dont mind paying more if its worth it. I spent a fair amount of money 6 months ago on some AKG studio headphones but they were shit, no bass.

    Best headphones ive had to date are these:
    http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-an...-audio-headphones/bose-around-ear-headphones/

    So I want something better than these!!!

    I love bose and I personally think their sound quality is sick, these ones are one my mind atm:

    http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-an...ts/bose-audio-headphones/bose-ae2-headphones/

    Apparently sony are meant to be alright and sennheiser but I have niether owned those brands of headphone before.



    Any suggestions?

    Bose is good company but they overprice their stuff I think... If you are going for the music side and not gaming... the one you are looking to buy are good :)

    Theses no mic on these headsets.. and i think no surround sound too for games. If you want to use voice in games, u might wanna look at the ones wid a mic. Preferably USB headsets instead of the 3.5mm jack cuz then it will have its own soundcard in it. Would cost under ?100 and i can name you a few good gaming headsets.

    Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset
    http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/gaming/headsets/devices/5095

    Cyber Snipa 5.1 Sonar Headset
    http://www.cybersnipa.com/us/gaming-audio/sonar5.1-headset.php

    Sennheiser PC 333D
    http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/uk/home_en.nsf/root/private_headsets_pc_pro-gaming_504126

    If you want a mic wid headset, go for 5.1 or 7.1 surround speakers gaming headsets but if u want it for music and just hearing audio, then go for the 2nd Bose.

    Wow you do get alot more for your money wit gaming headsets, so much technology!!!

    Think I will just go for the bose ones and get an external mic, and yes nomy bose are overpriced! Are they no other competitors to bose in the same price range that have equal or better sound quality? Only ever had bose and AKG....

    i have a g 35 i really like it and its a good value if u can afford the Sennheiser's
    and are that into gaming those are great

    the only problem with the g35 is it falls of your head if u look at the ceiling
