Headphone recommendations for £100

Hey guys my sister wants a pair of over ear headphones you know those crappy Beats Audio ones. I won't get those so I thought I'd come here to get some recommendations from you guys for around the £100 mark. Need em today. Cheers.

I was recommended these by this very forum:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Audio-Technica-ATH-M50X-Monitor-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00HVLUR86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399122406&sr=8-1&keywords=ath+m50x

Absolutely no regrets, they are are well worth the extra £30.

Or you could buy the cheaper version for <£100, the only difference is the above comes with detachable jacks:

Cheers man they look good!

I fear your sister will not be happy, because she wants to look cool, and even though those sound decent, they look kinda crap when you're wearing them. You've been warned.

Thanks lol.

Seconding this Audio-Technicas. I love mine.

Maybe check out the aiaiai headphones, theyre designy and I think they have a couple of models that arent too costly.

dabess

I was wrong its on ear headphones that she wants. So on ear recommendations please guys. Thanks! ;-)

V-moda xs, Aiaiai TMA-1 X

The Aiaiai TMA-1x is great, but pretty much the exact opposite of Beats headphones in terms of bass response, if that makes a difference. Very balanced though.

Really are they "on ears" as they don't look it. Can you advise me. Cheers. :D

yep, they are definitely on-ears = supra-aural. the AGK 271 is over-ear = circumaural, but far too bulgy for casual use. only concerns would be, that the 171 is not foldable and the noise attenuation is really quite high = good in the studio/dj, dangerous on the road/bike
