Please help us find some new headphones

  • June 14, 2012
  • Popjustice

Okay, our head­phones are knackered and we need some new ones.

We'll be honest readers, we haven't been satisfied with any of our head­phones purchases in recent years. And so we turn to you in the hope that one of you will be able to suggest The Perfect Headphones.

Conditions:

  • We'd prefer them not to be 'in-ear' head­phones, although we'd be pleased to hear about any in-ear ones that fit the require­ments below.
  • If they're the over-the-head sort we don't want any that fold up.
  • Nor do we want them to be massive. We're hoping for medium sized ones. You know the sort.
  • Obviously we want them to sound alright.
  • There needs to be a remote control on the wire. It needs to at least control the volume — ideally we're looking for something that's iPhone 4 com­pat­ible which has some sort of way of starting and stopping music, skipping forward and backwards etc.
  • We don't want them to be any stupid colours thanks. Black only.
  • We're not really sold on the whole Beats By Dre thing so avoid those if possible.
  • Noise can­cel­ling magic: we're inter­ested on this, but it's not vital.
  • We'd also like them to stop sound leaking out as much as possible.
  • Ideally, because we tend to end up smashing or running our office chair over head­phones within six months of buying them, we're looking for something around the £50-£60 mark. Yes we know that's limiting things a bit so please feel free to let us know about more expensive head­phones because we might just end up buying more expensive ones. You know how it is.

HELP US POPJUSTICE VIEWERS, YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE.

Please email your head­phones sug­ges­tions to [email protected]

If we follow your advice, we'd like to buy you a present. So if you'd like a present, please also include a link to something you fancy off Amazon.

We'll compile the best recom­mend­a­tions into a separate post.
