sparkysmum Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hello, my lovely oldest son is looking for recommendations for over ear/on ear headphones for times when he's in the car etc & wants to tune out other noise.. No particular budget as he loves his music & this is more important than cost.Thanks in advance as always, Alli xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I bought a pair of Sennheiser earphones recently which are noise cancelling but they're too darn good . When I wear them for running all I can hear is the thumping of my feet, my breathing and everything that seems to be going on inside my head . I'm sure they would cancel out the noise of annoying parents/siblings in a car . They were reduced on Amazon to £15 (I'm almost tempted to give them to you and buy a less good pair ). Edit: Typical, they're even cheaper now http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000VRBLMS/ref=oss_product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I did notice that (but not till I'd typed everything so thought I'd just post anyway ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 We have all treated ourselves to Sennheiser HD205 over ear headphones. They really are incredible sound quality! About £35 via Amazon. BIL has a pair of Bose, and these really are comparable. ***Linky*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I started a thread a few weeks ago about headphones,and got the ones Snowy has mentioned. Very pleased with them so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Palmer Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 My 2 boys both have Skullcandy headphones. They use them with their ipods in the car, their computers and the xbox. I can't comment on them myself, but they are both happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 There are only 2 choices (IMHO) for decent headphones Sennheiser and Bose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I am actually trying to re-listen to albums that I haven't listened to in ages, using the Sennheiser phones. The music sounds so different, it is hard to describe. They really are that good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks everyone. Think he's going for the Sennheisers. Alli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
