Headphones.

Hello, I was recently looking to buy some headphones but I have no experience at them whatsoever. I once had some beats by dre but they were not as nice as I tought.

I know some people here have lots of knowledge about headphones.
And I would like something good and also cheap (max 180 pounds (260$))

I was looking browsing and came up to these
Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 (160 pounds)
AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH-WS99 (79 - 89 pounds)

I would like them to be as cheap as possible because I will not keep them for many years. I'd like to upgrade in the near future to something better.

I have a nice hearing. I'd love clarity of the sound with some nice bass.

***Not for PC - for daily use with mobile phone

the ath-m50x (or older m50, m50s) would likely work. they drive fine from portable phones (i have a pair i used for work in an office). they fold up for travel too but are full size headphones.

the custom one pro from beyerdynamic may also work for you.

Bose QuietComfort 25 - best noise cancelling in the business, great sound and even work when the battery goes flat (30+ hours on a battery, sound quality not as good when battery has gone). Inline mic is pretty good and the (removable) cord can control playback / calls.

I use mine most days and wouldn't get on a plane or bus without 'em. I've had mine a year or so, think they were around £200, so not a huge stretch?

Hm ... a little bit over my budget. I think I'll consider these for my next purchase. Right now I'm tight on a budget. They look nice and I've read some reviews about them. Only positive feedback

I'll wait for more recommendations
