Best budget Headphones?

[admin_exported]

Hi.

What headphones shall I buy? I'm looking for some budget headphones, over ear style. At the moment catching my eye is ...

Sennheiser HD202 li: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-202-Closed-Stereo-Headphone/dp/B003LPTAYI/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

Or

Goldring DR100: http://www.superfi.co.uk/index.cfm/page/moreinfo.cfm/Product_ID/2687

Or anything better you can recommend?

My experience has been;

Sennheiser HD201 - The sound is very good. It has an even frequency response that tends towards the midrange, but they are not bass light.

Sennheiser HD202 - Too much bass emphasis for me, but would suit dance and metal, if you want loads of bass.

AKG K44 - Like the HD201 the emphasis is on the midrange, but if required they will do deep bass. They have a clarity and detail, so picking out individual instruments is easy, that is way above their price range. My preferred budget headphone.

Goldring DR100 - I have not heard it.

The two Senns and the AKG are closed backed, so will leak less sound than the Goldrings which are open backed. Both Senns and the AKGs are plastic and pretty tough for everyday use and they have plastic pads and so will lead to sweaty ears.
