Headphones > 30 GBP to 49 GBP Headphones

Feeling sound, Skullcandy Lowrider

Advantages: Price, excellent audio response, trendy colors
Disadvantages: Read the review

...so on. The Skullcandy has a great range of quality headphones and most of them are reasonably priced. Now it’s quite pertinent to ask why not go for the best. There are two main factors:a) The price. 2) The necessity of requirement. Bose makes great headphones but their deletion from list of brands is automatic. (On both counts). At around £26 it’s definitely quality available at a reasonable price. They are designed so intelligently, a high comfort ...
...schemes and a DJ-style swiveling ear cups. They are available in both leather and headband (a bit thicker) and they fit in snugly which eliminates noise and audio spill out. The Lowrider’s 40 mm drives guarantees that much of extra bass without effecting the high frequency spectrum to any noticeable extent. They are foldable, which is a big plus. I just can not help but look at its technical specifications: Headphones Type: Headphones - Binaural ...

Review of Skullcandy Lowrider

Great Sound, But Alas, I Cannot Use These Anymore

Advantages: Great Sound, Comfortable, Stylish
Disadvantages: Durability

...look cool. The market that Skullcandy have created with stylish headphones is admirable, and putting them on can make anyone look a little bit more trendy. So a big thumbs up in this department. Now, in terms of value for money, these things have been a bit confusing for me. I picked them up on play.com for £18 last year (the price has gone up since then, presumably these were discounted). However one of my friends, who was buying almost at the same ...
...(I plumped for the black) for around £40. So I think it depends on the price you get them for really. For £18 they have been great. And the most important aspect, the sound. It's fantastic. That's no exaggeration, these really opened my eyes. Songs sounded so much clearer and bassier, without sounding overly thumpy. So yes, if your looking for a great sounding pair of headphones, these really hit the mark. What I will say though, is that, at least ...

Review of Skullcandy HESH

Philips SBCHC8440 Review

Advantages: light, smallish, built-in volume control, good sound quality
Disadvantages: crackle when moved, strange base

I bought this wireless headphone from argos for £33.99. I have only had one main issue with these headphones, and that is when i move my head slightly, the headphones lose connection, or crackle and that is only resolved by smacking the headphones or moving again. Other irritating things about this set is that the base has its own headphone jack built in, so you cant do certain things with it. the other odd thing about these is that the base uses ...
...i just found that a bit wierd. The headphones also dont give you much of a heads-up about a low battery level. when it first went dead, the headphones just died suddenly, right in the middle of an action scene in the film i was watching. I was happy with the built in volume control on the headphones as well. the headphones are comfortable to wear and the headphones are light. that is one major issue i find with some wireless headphones, is that ...

Review of Philips SBC-HC 8440

Decent but pricey for the sound quality

Advantages: Comfortable, robustly built
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...and it is not up with the top Sennheiser earphones. Though jamming those inside your ears would take a lot more getting used to.. Lastly, they seem well built and sturdy, and have lasted well so far for 4 months. I'm expecting at least 2 years out of them. ...

Review of Sennheiser CX 400

Astounding...Brings your music to life.

Advantages: Brilliant sound, clear, good frequency response, initial comfort, single sided cable, Acoustics
Disadvantages: Not the best build quality. Lacks low range punch.

...I am very familiar with Sennheiser as i own a pair of high end Sennheiser HD 800 headphones. With the HD 415 I needed something more portable and that wouldnt need a headphone amplifier like the HD 800. And so knowing their potential I gave these a try. but first, some specifications... Nominal impedance 32 Ohm Jack plug 3,5/6,3 mm stereo Transducer principle dynamic, open Ear coupling supraaural Cable length 3 m Weight w/o cable 160 g Frequency ...
...dB(SPL) THD, total harmonic distortion < 0,5 % My first impression when opening the packaging is that the headphones arent the sturdiest set i have ever come across. This means that they are rather fragile and need to be treated with care. The plastic is brittle on them and will break if mishandled which is a pity because affordable headphones tend to be the ones that receive the most abuse. What I liked immediately however was the fact that it had ...
