Headphones.

[Midnight]

Afternoon all,
I'm after a decent set of headphones , will be used mainly for when I'm walking the dog /listening to music and watching films.

Don't want the ear bud ones as they are not comfortable for me , looking at the bigger ones Iike I use to use with the Sony Walkman.

Any one got any recommendations please , the beats solo look ok but want to hear of personal experience please.

Cheers

Midnight.

What's your budget ?

AKG is decent or Klipsch.

I have Sennheiser HD 450BT and sound quality is excellent imho, noise cancelling is good without being perfect, headphones are really comfy which not all are on my oversized head! Originally came from Sennheisers outlet IIRC

Bose are quality. I have the in ear, sporty type, smallish on ear and my son has the over ear / noise cancelling. All are lovely. If you fly much, buy the noise cancelling ones, they are a game changer.

Check out the Bose Outlet (online) shop. Sometimes you can get them a little cheaper there.

Don't want to spend more than 150 mate.

Be aware that you shouldn't completely block extraneous sound - for safety!

Soundpeats do a good range at a reasonable price. Had a few pairs of ear buds and also got some ‘proper’ headphones. You can get them through Amazon

Bose, absolutely superb headphones.

It's worth spending a bit extra. I've got the Bose QC35 which are superb and cost £350 but these are the latest ones and are available online for £200 if you shop around. Highly recommended

On my 3rd set of Bose over ear, noise cancelling. Not cheap but well worth it. Excellent on flights = no getting off with that horrible buzz in your ears. Tried a set of Sony noise cancelling about 5 yrs back… didn’t last that long and were soon replaced with more Bose.

I’ve got sound peats ear buds & they work fine & sound decent for the money.
But I find them too big & really uncomfortable.
Could just be my ears tho.

Agree with this.

These are magic, I got mine free as part of a Huawei promotion when they launched the P20 phone back in 2018 and after using them since, i think I'd pay full price as they are that good.

 

[BiMGuy]

Bose QC headphones is the answer.

Expensive yes, but quality. I’ve had mine probably more than 10 years and they are still going like they were new.

 

[Orikoru]

I use these now.

They don't go in or over your ear at all, but the sound conducts into the side of your skull. Sounds weird but it works so much better than you'd ever imagine. They were perfect for me as I find in-ear ones irritating after a while, and the over-ear ones big and bulky. Added convenience is your earholes are free to hear what you need to in the world around, cars honking etc, or if someone speaks to you you don't need to take them out, just pause the music or even just turn it down. I think they are superb.

I can recommend the Shokz as well, bone conducting and can hear traffic and still hear a conversation 👍🏻
