Recommend me some headphones

[SunnyD]

Looking for something with "good" sound quality, preferably over the ear and around the back of the neck.

I'm not looking for an $80 set that's going to rival a home theater. $25 or so would be more than enough. To be used with my phone and work computer to keep myself sane. Biggest thing I'd like is something that's comfortable on the ears.

I ordered these from Amazon last week and have been using them all of this week. They are phenomenal. Extremely impressed with the quality of the product as well as the sound quality. I'm wearing them 10 hours a day at work and haven't had any pain or discomfort.

I'm not sure why they are so inexpensive on Amazon (they had the lowest price that I could find).

Or through the audiophile forum at http://www.head-fi.org/forum/list/103.

Myself I bought the Brainwavz M2 and they are awesome for the type of music I listen to. Very warm sounds and a lot of bass. $55.

Interesting. Not exactly what I was looking for, but I'm tempted.

Over the ear, as in not in the ear/ear buds.

Go here:

There pricesare also very good and they have no problem stating openly that some of hte products they sell are crap and even go as far as saying that they only stock them because some people want them.

 

[uhohs]

koss ksc75 or portapro then.

JVC HA-RX700. They used to go for $35. Great headphones at a great price.

 

[GTaudiophile]

$20 more than your budget but worth it.

Must of missed a sale. I'm seeing $113 for them.

Do you prefer open or closed headphones? (the kind that leak out sound or the ones that kinda seal your ear. I'd spend 60 bucks on grado sr60's and be done with it if you can go open.

I second this. Love my Audio-Technicas. I think I got them for about $90 4 years ago and just recently replaced the pads that I had worn down.

 

[Rio Rebel]

I second the Grado's, but that's exactly what he said he wasn't looking for - way over $25 and audiophile quality.

For your budget, I HIGHLY recommend stretching it to $31 and getting these:

You can't come close to those for anything under 50 bucks.

I echo the Koss recommendations. The KSC-75s are probably my second favorite headphone that I've owned.

Not to say there aren't many other ones worth considering, even in the lower price brackets.

Sennheiser SH-201 for $14.99... any good?

 

[SithSolo1]

Probably better than anything else you will find for $15
