my klipsch images S4s clapped out on me the other week and although i have a 2 year warranty, i seem to have misplaced the buggers.

i'm thinking of getting some around the ear headphones/cans whatever they're called as i'll be on quite a few long flights in the near future.

any recommendations for about 300-350k won?

a friend mentioned the sennheiser HD25-IIs and beats by dre.
beats felt nice in the apple store recently but i'm sure half the price is the name.

any suggestions?

I've read good things about the Bose QC15's.

Most people that have used Beats by Dre think its overpriced.
I personally use sennheiser!

I vote for Sennheisers. I have a 12 year old pair that despite the padding turning to dust, still sound great. I recently re-stuffed them with dish sponge. They're like new.

i couldn't find the sennheisers that i wanted today and looking at the price, they were just too much for me. the on the ear headphones i looked at just kept irritating my ears too.

instead i got a pair of audio-technica M50s and breaking them in right now. happy with my hour old purchase right now.

Beats and Bose are both waaaay overpriced. Senns are good. I love Beyerdynamics & Denons, though, myself. There are some great cans out there right now--go to one of the headphone shops (good one in Yongsan iPark Mall way upstairs) and try a bunch!

Headphones are so overpriced here in Korea I have found that I could order some headphones and have them shipped, paying duty and they would still be cheaper than buying here!

The beats are good, sound good but your are paying a huge price tag for brand making the a rip off.

I got Ultrasone Pro 550, great headphones...

I was completely unimpressed with the beats and their price.
