1More MK802. Sounds like £900 for only £150. Get them any way you can.

That's a pretty big call.

Sorry if I missed it, but did you do a review of them somewhere?

Yes, right here in this forum. The review here is just one sentence and links to MyMac-dot-com. It's really interesting how they got a very smooth sound without electronic EQ like Bose uses. I do go into some detail about the bass switch and possible caveats there.

Not sure if 1More are available in the UK? (I'm making an assumption the OP is UK based, seeing they quoted £150).

Put the Audio Technica ATH-M50X on your audition list. You might prefer the sound of other headphones to the M50X; all our ears are different. But treat them as a bar that any other headphone at the price has to at least reach.

MK801's (non BT) are 80 quid and come in black.

Amazon UK has the MK802.

B&W P3 series 2 is worth a look. £120

I think the BOSE SoundTrue is a great choice.
