Good budget Headphones?

I know this has been asked recently - and the majority of people said the AKG240 - but its a little out of my price range.

I am in the UK - and have about £50 to spend.

Anyone recommend any good headphones for production (which I intend to use alongside my monitors)

And more importantly - where to find them.

Cheers guys

Why would you want headphones for production that aren't any good?

Because, if you can get a mix to sound good on a bad pair of headphones, then it will pretty much sound great on a big club system!





Of course you might not be able to hear it on the club system, by the time you're finished mixing it on a bad pair of head-phones.

I wouldnt - thats why I asked for people to recommend some good ones.

If you have nothing of any value to add - take your smart arse comments to the Humour / Funny Stuff Forum

Oh, thats right - they wouldnt be welcome there either

I guess we have different underlying assumptions.

Good headphones are not budget headphones.

They are one and the same in my eyes -

Good headphones...... on a budget!

Honestly, cheap headphones does work.. you shouldnt mix on headphones anyways, just refer to them.

I disagree... If you have an accurate set, you'll be just fine for mixing. You'll likely be less accurate on the real low stuff, below 60 hz, but if you don't have a real snazzy monitoring environment, you'll be inaccurate there as well. A good set of headphones can work very well, up to a point.
