Over the ear headphones..

---

Ok after finally trying out some Beats headphones today at bestbuy I decided its time I get myself some nice headphones. I know beats are over rated and I can buy something much cheaper that are better. What are some suggestions..

I was looking at these also Sony MDR-XB500. I hear very nice reviews on them.

Bowers & Wilkins P5's are great, and available from any Best Buy with a Magnolia Home Theater or any Apple Store.

Cheap and mid range.

I have tried many brands of over ear headphones. From value of £60 to £10.

These are IMO the best:
Sony ZX300 Over Ear Headphones

They are cheap, very good sound quality and the best build out of the ones I tried.

Stay away from skullcandy, they are over priced and flimsy have had two expensive headphones from them, both lasted a month or two before being unusable

I personally recommend AKG headphone.They are simply the best
I have an AKG K450
It's somewhere around 70 pounds and they are really really good

Thanks for the help. Im going to look into all the ones mention!

OK so after much research I went with the Sony MDR V55 these things are amazing!

I bought a Sennheiser headphone at amazon and i really love it!!

Please allow me to continue on this topic. Many headset have been suggested here, but none according to my needs.

I'm desperately looking for a headset that would be :
1. small and on-ear
2. foldable
3. with a removable cable
4. with a remote control (more than 1 button) that would be Android-compatible OR that could be made Android-compatible via Headset Button Controller or another app

So far I've found :
- AKG K450 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)
- AKG K451 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- AKG Q460 : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 ??? (it has a 3 button remote, it's not natively Android-compatible, but can it be made compatible via HBC or so ?)
- Radius 3Stages (HP-OHF11) : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but could a compatible remote be added ?)
- Urban Ears Zinken : 1 OK, 2 OK, 3 OK, 4 NOK (but can a compatible remote be found ?)

For the record my Droid is a rooted Arc S running stock GB (I can go ICS if it was mandatory for this to work).
And when I say "can it be made compatible" I mean "all 3 buttons", not only the central one.

Thanks in advance for your help / tips / etc.

Bowers & Wilkins P5 or P3 fit all of those criteria, except only use of 1 button. I use Headset Button Controller to let that 1 button pause, play, skip, vol up and vol down. P5 retails at $30p. I love mine (not that I paid even 1/10 retail for mine).
