foccer font of knowledge ......Beats etc
« on: 13 October 2016, 11:22:40 am »
looking for a pair of over the ear headphones to listen to music when walking the dog/sat at home. Would prefer Bluetooth but not too arsed if they are wired, can anyone recommend a good pair at a decent price?
saw an offer on Beats pro for £189 down from £380 but stopped a lad in the street who had a pair of beats on and he says there's better out there. I don't want cheap shite but I'm not Quincy Jones either so my ears aren't going to pick up every last note.......just need a good decent pair of OVER THE EAR type

cheers

My brother works for Bowers & Wilkins, and they just released some new headphones, but you might have to sell the dog to put money towards them.
A snip at £699  :look

You won't go far wrong with a set of Sennheisers and I think Sony make some decent headphones too. Personally though, if you're going to wear them in the street I would keep the cost below £50.

Sennheiser HD 201's- they're cheap and good.  :) 
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.

Dunno I've never met you. Anyway you might put them down and forget them or drop them in a puddle.

thanks for all the concern lads but I'm either going to be using these at home or when walking the dog. They will stay on my head and not fall in any puddles.....I am 52 not 6 :lol

as for getting mugged, they can try and they may actually snatch them but if they can out run a dog or me when very angry then they've earned them, suffice to say that no foccer is getting them without a massive punch up and believe me, I can spot a toe rag a mile off and when the said toe rag wants to have a pop then I hope he has a taxi booked for A & E :evil

anyway, back on track.....any more suggestions on the earphones?

cheers
