Wired headphones - indoor use only - about £100. Recs please.

I've got some JVC folding ones, cost £7.99 and they sound pretty good too.

I’d also endorse the Sennheiser phones. If you haven’t tried them electrostatic phones sound amazing, don’t know if you can get some within your budget.

I really want to hear some of those, but out of my budget range and the need for an appropriate amp/ power supply puts them even further out of reach

I want to tell you to stay away from Bose, but I see no one is recommending them.

I have the AKG K92s and am very happy (came from significantly more expensive but much older Sennheisers) - AKG Y50s currently getting well rated.

How about telling us why, just in case ...

Yet another vote for a pair of Sennheisers. I have a pair of PX 100s which were an absolute bargain more than a decade ago. I also have a pair of KEF M500s (£180 best price) which are unsurprisingly more comfortable, sound better....but it's marginal gains.

Like all of Bose's products overpriced and a bit 'tacky', don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of their speakers but in the right environment, I certainly wouldn't want a set in my house unless I was having a party, very dynamic with oodles of Bass and 'Top End' but no midrange (even positioned correctly)
and very 'tiring' to listen to.

These are amazing value.

Although wireless, they can be used wired as well. Sound quality is excellent. Having bought one pair, I had to order a second as Mrs R wanted her own. The alleged original price is not as high as claimed - more like £90 to £100 - and the noise cancelling isn't that great but it does get rid of all the creaks and other noises you get with headphones when you move.

I bought these 6 months ago,great sound and very comfortable.
Looked at the trendy AKG Y50's but didn't like the shouty design.

only £31.00 and they come with a 6.3mm adapter so you can plug them straight into your hi-fi system as well.

Got an irresistible deal on some Grado SR125e's

What pads do those have? - they usually come with S-Cush but I find the L-Cush better. You can get really good Chinese L-Cushes for a few quid on ebay.

+1 on the Sennheisers. I love mine. I use them for listening to the hi-fi, watching the tv, playing guitar..... awesome headphones.

The on ear ones, not the over ear ones.

And apparently I sing too loud with them on.

I feel the same about my Denons and my AT's but the Grado's are a bit wow!
