Fuck searchbar, I got to go to work in 2 minutes.

I have had baby blue skullcandy headphones for last 2.5 years. The sound quality may not be great but they were free in a ski magazine subscription, and have been awesome.

I've got a budget of 50 pounds (75 dollars). What's the best headphones? I wanna go for some over-ear ones. Preferably skullcandy as I wanna remain loyal but not overly bothered.


Help me fellow NS'ers!

Pretty much all these skullcandys will have good sound (sorry the link button isn't working) Also ive always liked all the 'in ear' earbuds. I just think they have great sound and there noise canceling.

Also my friend has a pair 'sennheiser' headphones, there aweseome! Sound is amazing! (pricy though) These are the ones he has and they are really good:

Skullcandy suck in every way. i do not understand the hype

I choose WESC bongos think they retail at $80-100 but if you find them on sale they can be like 60 bucks

My buddy recently brought some headphones from a company called Urbanears model was the Platten... they were 50 bucks and sound quality is pretty amazing on them and they look sick. Worth checking out.

Sorry but i think WESC suck in every way!  I don't like the sound quality and i don't think the quality of the headphone is that good either. I do think some look quite good tho, and so do Skullcandy.  
I pick Skullcandy over WESC anyday!

Id only rate the WESC bongos.... the oboes suck dick.

looks dont give a shit.... Skullcandy are just chinese pieces of shit with fancy print... Matix headphones are identical shape to skullcandy.

I will agre the bigger skullcandys like the TI are good. But they are stupidly bulky when you can get something with the same quality that dont look so stupid.

But if you do wish for skullcandy dont get the agents or lowriders. they break super easy.

The only good skullcandys in my opinion are the icons, they are cheap, have a reasonable sound, and they are great for skiing. the rest of em suck as far as durability goes. Monster headphones have pretty good buds... Beats are great over-ear headphones, but if you want those your looking at paying 200+. if you are willing to take a chance, you could go with some of the higher end skullcandys, but just note - they are not the most durable headphones out there. but they do deliver a good sound for the price.

Koss Porta Pros. Best headphones I have ever had. Some much better than icons and for about the same price.

icons, no question. they're cheap, fit well, look ballin', work well for skiing, and the sound quality is nothing to complain about. overall a great set of headphones, i see no reason to buy anything else.

Ones I had were lowriders, don't really like the icons too much. The headband thing seems a bit too thin.

I really like the look of the TI one but it hasn't got great reviews.. I may go for the Sennheiser HD485..

Thanks for the responses so far :)
