What are the best and least expensive over ear headphones?

One other request is that they fit well on a small head.

Do you want on ear or around ear? If on ear, I would recommend the Koss Portapros, KSC75s, or Sennheiser PX100s.

ksc75.
awesome sound despite of its price, and the lifetime warranty is great too.

JBL Reference 410, Philips SHL9500........

Are you looking at headphones with isolation?

 

[Minishark]

Sennheiser HD201's aren't too shabby.

Another vote for the Koss KSC 35s.

I bought some Shure 240's today and FOR THE PRICE sound amazing. I paid about $35 for them new at a local big box store (starts with a B). I have the Koss Porta Pro and KSC 35's and these actually sound better to me.

They're $60 retail, but you can find them cheaper online. When I look at them I can't believe how good they look for the price.

I listen to Japanese pop and they sound really good for that type of music. I liked them so much that I upgraded to the Shure 840.

the classic Porta pros or senn px 100. cant go wrong with these. choosing between the two becomes a matter of preference

Thanks. Does anyone know if any of these would fit better on smaller heads? They are for a 6 year old. We originally got her "kids" headphones (the Sony ones), but they still cost $15, and are pretty crappy, and I think reduce the volume to the point where it's hard to hear anything.

the KSC 35 should be ok. it's not too big.

KSC 75 Is better, IMHO.

[pearlgirl]

the KSC's seem to clip over the ear. is that right? i need these to have a headband.

are there any good/decent ones for under $20?

i think we are going to have to pair them with an amp most likely. looking at a FiiO E5, unless anyone has any better suggestions for a cheap amp.

My vote is for the koss portapro, fits comfy on everybody, sounds good
