hey guys, if you had to choose headphones on this site to buy from, which would they be?

Apologies in advanced if this was posted in the wrong section, I tried finding the right forum:

And correct me if I'm wrong, but would the Seinhesser ones be the best? Like that $50 one? How much better would the $150 one be?

Thank you so much!

Hey razz and welcome to the forums,

What purpose will the phones be used for?

jeesh...Its such a personal choice! Like a new pair of shoes.

Each one is going to sound different, and you may like one sound that I might not. You really just need to try some out rather than just going purely on a recommendation. Sennheiser makes nice headphones, but I like some of their models and not others. Bring a portable music player to the store and out try a few pairs. That's really the only way.
