Can anyone recommend me a good quality (over, full ear) Headphones, currently using the Apple ones and they are sh1t.

I like the idea of the noise cancelling system and have heard the Bose ones are really good, expensive but good.

Love listing to ipod, youtube etc, budget approx £100, so what's good.

cheers

Sennheiser are usually pretty good, in my experience.

Have the 451's. Great headphones but in no way do they cancel the noise so best for use when you won't disturb others or played at lower volumes.

If you're at home why do you need noise cancelling?

I'd highly recommend the AKG 550s for £109 from Richer Sounds.

The AKG as mentioned above really are a very decent sounding set of headphones, for the current selling price you'd have to spend at least double to get any significant upgrade in sound quality.

I have B&W P3's, Sennheiser Amperiors and Grado SR80's, i'd be willing to sell the Grado's for £60 posted if you have a listening environment where sound leakage is not an issue, being open backed headphones they do leak sound into the room which can be annoying for others near by.

Very happy with my Grado SR's, there's a reason the design hasn't changed for yonks.
