wireless ones sound a bit rubbish. closed back ones are good if you need sound isolation - otherwise get open backed ones. my closed back sennheiser DT250s are ace, and were about £80. i think places like richer sounds might be able to advise/let you have a listen, pro hi fi shops normally deffo have a range, get some advice and then buy online :)

Oooo ta Bob. So you wouldn't recommend wireless? I have to say i had heard they were meant to be poorer sound quality.

[daresbalat]

yeah deffo. i mean on cheaper ones it won't make much odds, but if you're gonna spend some money it'll significantly degrade things. They send everything over a short range radio frequency, so it'll sound like it's on the radio - albeit good, fm radio but significantly lower quality than CD/vinyls are naturally.

Sennheisers are good!

I use them when playing Doom 3. They make it much scarier.

Hey miss. We got a "private and confidential" letter here for you from Trent. Can you email us the address you want it forwarding to, please.

sennheiser HD497s are the shit. i'm on my second pair (not that the first pair died... my ex-housemate 'lost' them!)

nearest ones i can find anywhere quickly (a lot of sites are blocked at work) are these:

50 quid, but you can probably find cheaper.

i picked up my original 497's from currys january sale for £25 and my second set off ebay for £23. richer had them in for £39.96 at the time.

I agree with everyone else, Sennheisers for the win. I've got some little 282s for DJing with and they do the job nicely :)
