    Hello chaps, I'm wondering if I may get some advise from your fine selves.


    Basically I'm looking to buy some headphones to attach to my m17 notebook so I can watch DVD's, Blurays and TV shows while in bed. Im working on a budget of around £100 ($120) ish.

    There wont be an amp involved so I'm looking for the best possible sound that I can get for the money.



    Can anyone give me any recommendations?





    Thanks in advance

    Cheers for that, had a look around for reviews on them and they look pretty good. Have ordered myself a pair.



    Thanks again.

    Those are more music-listening phones. I'd recommend one of the better faux-7.1 headsets such as the Logitech G35 for movie watching as well as general PC use. It really does add an extra dimension to movies as well as games.

    I recommend SRS Audio Sandbox and a pair of $5 earphones :)
