[QUOTE="Tonteldoos, post: 759272, member: 689"] I'm replying to this a bit late... But FWIW, if you're looking to buy new in that range, I can highly recommend the Sennheiser HD 598 SE. They are about R4000 on Takealot and $250 on Sennheiser's site. Those prices seem fair... However... I bought mine for $100 on an Amazon Black Friday special while on a business trip, and they are still only $150 on Amazon ([url=https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-598-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0126HISOO]https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-598-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0126HISOO[/url]). So if you have a way of getting them into the country (like when you or someone you know is travelling), you'll be getting quite a bargain. For the price, I thought there must be something wrong with them, but it was too good a deal to pass on. And they have blown me away. Super comfortable, and incredibly open and airy sound. And that's with compressed music and no DAC or headphone amp. [/QUOTE]
