Budget Headphones

So i have about £40-60(IF YOU CAN CONVINCE ME I WILL SPEND MORE) to spend on some headphones (not ear buds or in-ears) obviously id like to take the cheapest option. The main use is for music on the bus and stuff so probably closed headphones will do the best job. I listen to a whole range of music so id rather not have some headphones which are OP in some category and will use for the occasional game(tf2 ftw), though i have speakers for that.

 

 

duno what to say tbh ask me some questions will asnwer if i know what your on about =D

I would suggest the Samson SR850 for 30£. I use them every day and I have also done a review on them here. Great budget headphones but the build quality is not its strength point. I don't mean that if they fall they will break. I have dropped my pair around 5 times and it is completely fine(1m height). Also comfort is kind of a personal thingy. Some find them very comfy others not so comfy, I am kinda in the middle. But as far as pure sound quality goes, they are simply superb, especially for their price tag.

Hope it helped!

I don't know if I understood correctly your question, but it uses a memory foam that needs some time to break in. After 2 weeks it will fit your head perfectly. It is not cushy as the XB500 but it is cushy enough.
