Behringer ALPHA vs HPX2000 headphones: which should I buy?

Buy the Behringer HPX2000 if keeping costs down is your priority: it’s £10 versus £42 for the ALPHA. With no specifications or listening comparisons supplied, there’s no firm basis for saying the ALPHA is worth the extra £32.
The HPX2000 is listed as DJ headphones and is the budget pick here. If you simply want the lower-cost option, it’s the straightforward choice—but that DJ label alone doesn’t tell us how it sounds or fits.
The ALPHA costs £32 more at the supplied best new prices. We haven’t been given details on comfort, isolation, construction or sound, so don’t assume the higher price guarantees an upgrade.
My practical advice: choose the HPX2000 for minimum outlay. Before spending more on the ALPHA, check both models’ specifications and, if possible, try them on—comfort matters when you’re wearing headphones for a whole session.
