I've used the Sennheiser PC135, a KOSS set I can't remember for ~90 euros and the Icemat Siberia headset.

there is one problem... you said prefer, means someone else would prefer the sennheiser... besides, there are few more things to look at when you buy headphones, for example build quality, comfort, etc...

tbh a brand like sennheiser can be automatically considered the best brand as it is almost a monopoly business in the market of headphones...
Parent

artlove 25 Jul 2008, 03:55
AKG, Koss, Technics, Sony, Phlips, Behringer, Ultrasone, Shure (earphones) all make great headphones/earphones/headsets, dont see a monopoly. and the list goes on...

every sennheiser headphones I have had haven't compared to any lower priced other brand headphones on quality.

Also when I go into shops like apple (for the lulz) I always find when playing around with different headphones that sennheiser aren't as good as the others

Got myself a HD595 for around 130 euros, sound great! And I'm sure there are even better but im not some damn audiophile that listens to the slightest change that you won't even notice when you're really into the music that you listen. There's a point where the difference is just too small to pay more for.

Search a bit around on head-fi.org, the #1 music-headset-nerd forum I know.

If he likes closed headsets (=not so much sound getting in nor out),
Beyerdynamics is the way to go.
Sennheiser is generally known for better open ones.

Sennheiser HD595 (as posted above) is a great headset. A friend of mine had it before, it owns. To fully gain advantage of them you might want some kind of headset amplifier, depending on what source you want to use.

Beyerdynamics DTX900 ain't bad either from what I've heard, never tried them tho. They don't require as much juice as the HD595s, which is an advantage.

You should also look out for some AKG cans btw, but I don't know much about them.

Anyways, the best advice I can give is to go to a store and try them. People have different taste, and also different ears and head. A headset that feels comfortable to some might suck for others. So if your friend wants to really buy something good, he really should try them first.
