On a pretty low budget. Are these worth buying??

going to use them mainly for producing....
or can anyone show me anything similar for about upto £30

No but you won't find anything worth using for that money. Save up a little more imo.

around how much are a decent pair of headphones?

im no expert but i reckon they would be ok for just producing. i have the v-500 and i use them for mixing. but the ones you are looking at are v150 so i duno if the sound quality would be much difference

how much are the v500?

i payed £50. but that was bout 5 years ago now. i would imagine they would be a bit cheaper now. the v150 was reduced from £20. i still think they would be fine considering you are on a tight budget. fuck me i just searched for the mdr v500 and its £61.99 here http://www.headphoneworld.com/p/Sony_MD ... phones.htm

bought a set of these for 10£ the other day when my ipod headphones broke and i needed some phones for the journey home.
they aren't that bad tbh

are they better than ipod ones though? im using them to produce...

I have a pair of v500's I thought they wouldn't sound much different than the v600. Wrong, the v500's sound like absolute shite. The v600's are ok for djing, v500's aren't good for anything. SAVE UP. Look into v6 or AKG k240, Sennheiser HD25 something like that.

Save up another £100 and get some Sennheiser HD25's theyll last you years and you'll be so happy you bought them a few years down the line...

hey Numan, i would say those headphones are pretty damn good for 11 quid or whatever. My experiance with sony headphones is that they sound pretty good but after about a year or so (depending on how much you use them) the foam padding that makes them at all comfortable disintergrates and they are no longer wearable. But that pair have a v.good frequency response range for that amount of money (18-22000hz). But you get what you pay for, the more you spend the better it'll sound but make sure that, if you're planning to use them for producing, you get a pair of headphones that have a pretty flat frequency response curve (no particular frequencies, highs lows or mids, are accentuated)

fostex t-7
sennheiser px100

if you are broke, sennheiser hd201

spend at least 100 bucks IMO

and dont get sony, they always break

fuck lol, ive bought them now paid yesterday shpuld be here 2moro there just to get buy with anyway ipod ones hurt

shud of gt sum sennheisers

too much man and they looked alright can u return to chemical if u aint opened?

personally i think these headphones are crap. in the last year ive gone through 5 or so pair. i should realized by the 2nd i should of just saved for much better quality...the cord is too thin, wears down easily, same with the headphone jack

IMO save up and get HD-25's. Robust, every part is replaceable and excellent sound. Its false economy buying cheap headphones. Anything under £80 aint worth it.

I have had my Sony's for like 8 years now. I think they are solid. They sound like shit though. Wouldn't use them for anything but djing. They do have high end cans but we are talking $$$$$$$$$$$$.
