Hey guys...so I'm going to be buying a pair of headphones. I've been using the JVC IEMs which are amazing and just want a change.

I do like the Beats by dre...they're light, not bulky at all, but I feel for the money, there is better. What would you recommend as far as aesthetics that is similar, but better audio quality?

We have just had a thread on this. The answer is Sennheiser, Sennheiser and Sennheiser.

I know you are going to cringe at this, but he did say he wanted similar aesthetics and good sound quality. What do you, or anyone else for that matter think about any of the following: V-moda Crossfade, Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Ultrasone HFI-780.

If I had to guess, I'd assume Neijii is less concerned with neutrality than with the headphones being "fun".

In my view the question to ask about any technical device is: - Is it any good? There are too many fashion statements already.

If the JVC IEMs are amazing, why would you want to change them? Just Kidding. I would recommend you something from Sennheiser as well. Not sure what though.

Lol Dan.

And I'm going to take a look at what LordHumungus listed and see if they're any good.

I do care about asthetics, I don't want something too bulky..not so much a fashion statement, I just use them a lot when I'm out walking and don't need a helmet on :)

Sennheiser's pro headphones are pretty light and dont look like you have some coconuts on your head...
They also sound bloody amazing
Theyre also used pretty much exclusively by the professionals
And you can and will get spare parts for them
I bought my eldest a pair and have coveted them ever since..
£160 british money
Audio technica get some good reviews as well

Seems like headphones are much easier to shop for than IEMs. With headphones, it's basically....Sennheiser lol

Out of this, which do you recommend?

I like the 200ii, seems very light. I'm basically going to be working out with them, the IEMS, I love, but the wire snags and they fly out of my ear at times and I'm tired of taking them in and out of my ear every minute during I rest between sets...

I also like the aesthetics more than any beats, but that's just me :p
