I'm in need of new headphones for travelling

[Venomz1337]

I travel by bus 2.5 hours everyday. I need something that sounds good but isn't overly expensive. So far I've found these and are £30 off. What do you guys think/recommend?

I have heard that they are very comfortable and sounds good (but not flat) and they don't leak sound so the other people on the bus won't hate you because they can hear your music

I suggest watching this video

If it's for mobile travel, you could also get some earphones (not those crappy ipod buds). Sennheiser makes nice ones.

I don't want in-ear as I feel I'm damaging my hearing by doing so. I don't play music on high volume but still think, pushing dirt into my ears is bad.

Since you are using them on the bus for extended periods of time you might want a closed phone so you don't annoy or bother everyone on the bus haha

I recommend Sony MDR-XB500's personally, they are very comfortable, have great bass, and are an overall deal for the price.

I was going to recommend exactly those OP! They've got good reviews and are highly recommended.

These look really good, I should be purchasing them and seeing how they go. Thanks for the advice!

 

What about these though?

Upon further inspections, I'm not spending £65.

I'm not a big fan on the white ones but 25% cheaper is also a difference.

I meant I was recommending the Phillips Uptown which were already in your OP.

Oh! Okay, I'm guessing they're the ones I'm buying.

Skullcandy Aviators are on sale, again depends on colour.

The main difference between the MDR-XB500 and MDR-XB600B is that the the XB500's are over ear versus the XB600B being on ear, To me personally I would always go over ear instead of on ear but that's up too you. They both will have great bass, the "XB" in the model series stands for "Xtra Bass" so both are bound to have good bass. I've actually listened to the MDR-XB500 so I would recommend those over the XB600B though they are still great for the money, to me the 500's are just more comfortable and pleasing to look at.

Do you think it's worth the £65?

 

Lemme change the question, is it worth the extra £15 over the Phillips?

I wouldn't say so, I've heard those Phillips are fantastic headphones for the money, have bass extension, nice mids, etc. They also have great build quality a look good, one review I read about them said that they would even be safe to thrown in a travel bag and not have to worry about breaking them. The Phillips also look really nice, I would just get yourself the Phillips and save yourself the few extra bucks. Just letting you know, I haven't personally owned or listened to the Phillips so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I've read they are damn good portable headphones for the money.
