Sony MDR-EX650 I just got them no volume control and they are incredible they are £59 free delivery from Sony.co.uk I did have a problem with them at first if the plug is fully in they are missing some frequencies but pull the plug out 1 or 2 mm and they are better than anything around that price. My other headphones are the MDR-EX from about 5 years ago and AGK Q701. These are not as good as the AKG Q701 but they cost £350 and I got them for a flat EQ for music producing but they totaly destroy my older Sony MD-REX that I paid £70 for.
