Good headphones for around 50$

Thread Starter 

I am looking around for good headphones for around 50$. I am looking for ones that have little leak, good noise isolation, deep bass, and good sound clarity. Im looking towards Sennheisers, but I don't know which model to get. Would anyone suggest any models or other brands that are good?

 

Thanks!

That is more or less an impossible criteria to meet for $50 redface.gif

 

Clarity and deep bass at that price is rare, certainly not with excellent noise isolation.

 

Can you afford to lose one of those criteria?

I could go higher, but Im just hoping it wouldn't go over 70

 Can you rank what is most important to you in order of importance..

 

 Clarity, deep bass, isolation?

If you can bear to dump the low sound leaking requirement, and are willing to pay $79, I would go with the Grado SR60i. They leak sound tons, but the sound is fantastic for their price range. They sound great unamped also.

Well, bass and clarity is most important, noise isolation is not that important, but is nice to have.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look at those.

Second vote from me for the SR60i ~ excellent unbeatable clarity at that price, Koss KSC75 is not bad either

 

Both are king in that price range.

The Panasonic RP HTF600 is worth a look, I'd pick one up without hesitation if I ever found one in a local store. From impressions around this site they seem like they'd suit your needs nicely, great bass and clarity for the price with decent a little isolation. Although I doubt their clarity matches the SR60i.

I'm looking at that right now, but some stores sell it for around 30$, while other sell it for 50$. Are they all the same?

I feel that I should save up more, and then get something more expensive. What do you guys think about these, http://www.sennheiserusa.com/headphones-stereo_502767

It looks nice. Is it worth the money?

You'll have to travel up the Sennheiser chain for clarity to match the $79 SR60i ~ HD598 and upwards to the HD600 and HD650.

 

Cheaper Sennheisers are not renowned for their clarity

Bass is very good on the Grado SR60i, and treble clarity is excellent on the Grado SR60i.

Okay, thanks.

One more question. What does Closed Circumaural mean?
