Looking for a solid quality set of wired headphones to plug into my turntable. I am by no means an audiophile and am not looking to break the bank. Just want a nice pair that is going to provide a quality listening experience. Any recommendations?

I love my Sony WH-1000XM3. They are wireless, but can be used wired as well.

Lots of good info here: http://forums.theskyiscrape.com/viewtop ... ones#p1269

I use these for my LPs and they sound great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KY ... UTF8&psc=1

Yeah I'm going merge these two. Good discussion going on in the thread referenced above.

I have these on my head right now with Never Destination playing.

My advice, if you're looking for over-the-ear headphones, would be:

1. Pick a set with an easily replaceable cord. Nothing worse than having to toss an expensive set of headphones because of a wear & tear part that was hard wired.
2. Watch out for plastic movable parts. These are instant beak points. I once had a set of reasonably expensive Shure headphones that twisted at the ear piece and these broke within a few months.
3. Avoid sets that enhance or distort a specific part of the frequency spectrum. That's what EQ is for.

Brand-wise i've had a couple pairs of Sennheisers that have been great. I've had to replace the cord a number of times on each but it's a cheap fix. I have headphones on +/- 8 hours a day so ymmv on the replacement rate. I've had a set of HD477's for well over 10 years, and HD 598SE's for about 3 or 4 years. Both have been excellent.
