Hi, so i want a new pair of headphones for my pc and i have seen this on Amazon http://www.amazon.es/Sennheiser-HD-449-Auriculares-cerrados/dp/B005N8W214/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1456072167&sr=1-6&keywords=sennheiser

are they worth it? or should i look for another model, budget is 60 euros or a bit more if the product is good enough to justify the cost

Or something from here https://headphoniaks.com

If you're considering the 449, get the 439 instead. Sound is nearly identical but the 439 comes with a detachable cable.
