What are the best headphones for musicians under £120?

The Sony MDR-7506/1 Professional Stereo Headphones at £85 and Sennheiser HD 25 at £113 are worth shortlisting. There is no single proven best here: the supplied prices establish affordability, but not sound quality, comfort or suitability for your setup.
The Sony MDR-7506/1 Professional Stereo Headphones have a listed best new price of £85, while the Sennheiser HD 25 costs £113. Both fit a £120 budget; the Sony leaves more money available for other equipment.
For a lower-cost option, the Behringer ALPHA is listed at £42. The Behringer HPX2000 DJ Headphones are the cheapest supplied choice at £10, although price alone does not establish their value for recording or practice.
Choose according to your intended use rather than cost alone. Before buying, check connection compatibility, comfort and how much isolation you need; the supplied information does not establish those differences.
