| 1431839 | 2017-02-13 01:11:00 | Can anyone recommend a good set of full size headphones that arnt too pricy. Looking for wired type that would be comfortably to wear long enough to watch a full movie. Last set I had was over 30 years ago. Tried some earbuds but the tone was crap. |

| 1431843 | 2017-02-13 07:21:00 | Audio Technica have a good range, a year ago I bought the ATH-M40x model from mighty ape. They are very comfortable, as I have worn them in my job for up to 3 hours while on the move constantly. I use them for listening to music from my cellphone and the sound quality is great. One reason I chose them was that they have a replaceable headphone jack (3'5mm each end) Heres the link to the headphones on pricespy pricespy.co.nz Wow they are over $200 now, I got them on special for $150 :cool: |

| 1431844 | 2017-02-13 18:11:00 | Got granddaughter a pair from the Warehouse for $10. She's very happy with them. Blue and white, so not the usual boring black too. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1431845 | 2017-02-13 19:34:00 | Yeah have to wonder if my old ears would notice any difference between a $10 Warehouse set or one of the $50 - $100 ones I have on my short list. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1431846 | 2017-02-13 19:55:00 | The famous brand name headphones seem to have a huuuuge markup on them . You arnt getting what you pay for. | 1101 (13337) | ||

I'll second this choice. Bought some a while ago for about $80.00 from DSE and they're perfectly adequate for their intended purpose. There's no doubt better and worse, however I did a fair whack of research before parting with my coin and these reviewed well. |
