    Default Spec me some headphones

    Hiah folks.

    Almost two years ago I bought a pair of Ozone attack headphones from a place beginning with N. They died a month later and were RMA'd. The replacement pair died today .

    Had a look at repairing them with the trusty soldering iron but the problem area is in a bit of sealed rubber and I really can't be bothered to put in the effort required to fix them, they weren't that comfortable anyway.


    So the requirements:

    Must be analogue, NO USB as I use them with my Xbox and with Linux.
    Nice-ish bass would be good.
    Comfortable for long use.
    Under £50 if possible.

    I don't need a mic jack as I never really used the one I have but if it has one that would be fine.


    Thanks in advance.

    I would have said the Corsair HS1A but Aria seem to have discontinued them. A friend has them and the sound is excellent.

    don't know if it's exactly what you're after, but the most bargainous headphones in the world are Goldring DR150's
    they're better for being driven, but even on their own they totally ing rock for the money

    I really do like the look of them and the price is fantastic.

    Anyone else got them and can give a good review?
