Noted for their delivery of superb low-end punch combined with dreamy-clear highs, the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO is another bargain at their standard RRP. One huge benefit with these earphones is how they have been designed with comprehensively replaceable components; this means that if you destroy them due to rough treatment on the road, you can repair them for next to nothing.

Sony MDR-7506

They may have been around for some time, but the Sony MDR-7506 still set a seriously high standard. In short, you would be hard pressed to find anything for around the £90 mark that performs nearly as well as these. Supremely comfortable for extended wear and capable of delivering total clarity throughout the entire spectrum, the Sony MDR-7506 gives you the total package for a ridiculously low price.
