Hey, looking for some good headphones (under 300$)
Philips top of the line, X1 has amazing bass for open headphones, and under $300 as well on Amazon.

Which headphones should I get?
The koss ksc75 is really cheap, pretty decent sound, and very comfortable. But if you want a little better sound quality I recommend Sennheiser HD 202 II, if not the HD 201. (:- tonytrann
