Hi there,

Which over-the-ear headphones would you recommend. Krome 88
1. From $50 to $80
2. From $81 to $120
3. From $121 to $200

Thank you for your time.

I chose a pair of Audio-Technica model ATH-M50's at my local music store from amongst several others displayed. They appeared strongly made and had a smooth sound overall, very close to the QSC 10 amplified speakers I use for my keyboards.

Of course they were the most expensive, around $150, of the several ones he carried. I have suffered no buyers' remorse on that purchase.

I also have a pair of Bose on-the-ear headphones that I use for my 4-hour dialysis sessions three times a week. They are not nearly as sturdy, don't isolate me from ambient noise, but are lighter weight and more comfortable for long listening periods and also exhibit a smooth, balanced sound. They were just over $100 and in my opinion would work just fine for private keyboard use.

While I'm sure there's a host of other options, some less and some more expensive (as well as some much, much more) I'm comfortable and satisfied with both of these and have passed many hours enjoying listening through them.

Hope this helps with your decision.
