Best on/over ear headphones under $100?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 

Hello guys, Im new here.

 

I would like some information on what you think is the best sub-$100 headphones. I want headphones that look cool, and I really like the look of grado sr60i's, but the only problem is that they leak sound. I want to be able to use these headphones in public, like at school, or on a bus, or in a library.

 

I don't like big bulky headphones, but really like the small but durable ones like the grados and Beats Solo. The beats are just too expensive, but I want headphones that look cool and sound good. I listen to hip-hop, rock, and rap, so extra bass is fine. 

 

I also want them to be comfortable to wear for a long time, like the squishy pads on the solos or the grados.

 

Right now I own Skullcandy Hess, and they are made of all plastic and kinda bulky. I would like durable headphones that will last me a long time and not made of all plastic.

 

If you guys can find headphones that fit these criteria, then that would be awesome!

Check out the AKG K518 LE, sound good for the price, bassy, looks nice (imo) and comes in different colors......

Grados leek pretty bad. If you are going to be using them in public,or in a noisy environment, you may not be happy with grados
. The lower end grados do sound pretty nice for what they cost though, imo anyway.....

 

some more headphones I would look up would be the beyer dt-235, the shure 750 and 550 DJ, and maybe the koss porta pro. If you can strech your budget a bit, check out the ath m-50s too.  Good luck!
