My roommate recently bought and returned a set of Beats. He liked the "live" sound but $300 was too much for what you got. So, is there anything out there for $200 or less that sounds similar? Doesn't have to be noise canceling, just comfortable with equally bright highs and equally powerful...

I'm about to put an order in for a set of blue Koss Portapros. I got to sample them at Best Buy and am completely impressed by their comfort and rich sound. Are there any other headphones out there under $100 that have a distinctively 1980s look to them?

Hi! I just bought Grado SR40s from Best Sound in St Louis, and just ordered a Chaintech 710 (the Via AC97 sounded terrible). Just saying hello.
