I have some travel coming up and I'd like an upgrade from my in ear buds.
I can't afford Bose or Beats but can anyone recommend some over or large on ear headphones?
I've looked at the Urbanista Seattle, House of Marley Positive Vibration 2 and Mixcder E7. Anyone used these?
Not bothered about bluetooth, wired is fine.
cheers in advance!
I have the AKG Y50BT, which are Bluetooth but can be wired. Cost me £55 and seem to go on sale at that price a lot - or the C50 which is identical.
They do get a little uncomfortable to wear for more than a couple of hours at a time but otherwise very happy with them. They definitely sound a lot better than similarly priced in-ears.
Something by Audio Technica? I have the M50Xs and the sound is amazing, but too pricey for your budget.
I tried AKGs and they were awful, but from what everyone else says, I must've had a duff pair.
I got the wired AKG Y50 for the other half and was very impressed. I paid £50 at Richer sounds though they are currently showing as £70.
ETA: Pair on ebay for £59, brand new in box.
You could get a Mazda MX-5.
I use the classic Sony MDR V6 but they are no longer available.
These are supposed to be good:

Another vote for the Y50s. Still punching about their weight over a year on. I mangled the original cable but bought a better quality replacement. Now I'm almost convinced they actually sound better than ever.
