[QUOTE="gLer, post: 835379, member: 19111"] Hi - not to belittle your request but may I suggest you save up a little longer? You?re selling yourself short if R1500 is all you?re willing to spend. You might get something half decent, in the short term, but I?d say start at around the R2000 to R2500 mark for a good used pair of over ears, and even then they?re probably not going to be earth shattering. That said I saw someone selling a pair of Yamaha HPH PRO500 headphones on AVF around August last year for less than R2k. Not a bad bet if you?re into your bassy sound. Might be worth looking for a deal on those. New they sell for around the R3k mark. If you don?t mind open headphones, the Philips Fidelio X2 are a good buy at around R3,200 on Loot.
