headphones recommendation?

[lowdowner]

I managed to wash my in-ear B&W C5 headphones in the washing machine. I then dried them for an hour (at high heat) in the tumble drier.

I'm looking for other bassists' recommendations for a replacement pair. No in-ear this time (they keep falling out when I'm head banging!) but a small, light over-ear pair with great bass boost like the C5's.

Any idea?

The B&W p3s are good. Little bass light maybe. I have the sennheiser momentums, awesome cans. Really open with enough kick for my taste.

They have just announced the urbanite range which might be worth a look as well..

The cheaper akg headphones get great reviews if your budget is a bit tighter

Sennheiser hd25-1 on-ears. Give them a listen before you buy anything.

Best headphones I've heard by quite a distance - But I'm only comparing them to a small sample of relatively budget headphones.

Worth a listen for anybody thinking of spending about or over €100.

I use these in the gym. They have a nice secure fit and are very good quality (as most Grado phones are). Not silly money either.
