Bulk buying headphones as a christmas gift | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Hi everyone, I'm planning to ship a a few friends as set of headphones that are across the world. Does anyone know a decent headphone that's under ~$40 that I can buy 5 pairs of? They're not audiophiles, but none of them have over ear headphones that sound decent. They're all using skullcandy earbuds and whatnot.

JVC HA-S400? They are about 30USD on taobao.com (195yuan). You might want to go through a dealer especially if you are not to familiar with mandarin.

The HAS400 sounds excellent! I remember reading about it before, I justn ever got around to buying them. Thanks for the suggestion Artem

One other thing you might want to consider is the Koss KSC75 or PortaPro. Both sound awesome for the price ($15 and $30 respectively).

Hehe thanks, but one more thing. Is the HAS-400 over ear headphones? Most people tend to find discomfort for on-ears and I don't want them to just sell them off.

I know they are on ears, but i have yet to hear about complaints about the clamping force of these. So i guess should be fine?

This link goes to the HA-S400's thread. So far not much complaints that I've seen.
