Thread Starter 

i know thts cheap but im saving for a new laptop so i cant spend much. my in ears are sick but my overs hurt my ears. any suggestions?

 

i listen to classic rock and metal, and dubstep. so they need good bass, but also clear mids and highs.

 

I'm fine to go a little over but not a ton.

 

Thanks,

wburton

I see these being recommended a lot recently, but aren't they on ears?

The CALs (Creative Aurvana Live) cups barely fit around the ears, at least for me.

But I do not like the CALs because it feels like the diaphragm in the cups is only a few millimeters from my ear, so my ears feel "bothered" after 10 minutes.

Currently my favorite under $100 headphone is the Gemini HSR-1000 (Takstar Pro 80) closed headphones, $85.
