    So I've got this $50 Best Buy Gift Card...

    Alright, so here's the deal. I recently received a $50 Best Buy gift card. However, there isn't really much worth spending money on at Best Buy. So, I have a quest, find the coolest, most interesting, or most promising (terms are flexible...), audio-related item at Best Buy around $50 (no more...

    Koss UR55 better than MDR-XB300 headphones?

    Hi all,   I started with an Ipod Classic and used the included earphones, then I upgraded to a set of Sony MDR-V150's. This was a big (but cheap) improvement, but eventually they broke and I got myself some nice Sony MDR-XB300's. I have had these for a couple of months now and really like...

    New ear-pads for Koss UR-55s?

    I just bought a pair of Koss UR-55s from best buy two days ago because my HD 202's broke. Today was the first day I was able to test them out and wear them for an extended amount of time. At first they feel very comfortable for being foam ear pads, even though they touch my ear, but after an...

    Another UR-55 mod ...

    I was looking at the foam that is connected to the pads on my UR-55 and I was wondering how I would be able to get that out of there, and if I could do it without destroying the pads. Not to mention, would it sound better? It's all true, I tried them against my unmodded set of UR-55's and this...

    Thanks for the help guys. I'm looking for pair of full-size (over the ear or studio type) headphones for about 50-70 dollars that i can get at bestbuy (have a gift card to use-thank you wife). I have heard some good things about the Koss's but one thing that concerns me about these particular...

    Koss UR-55 Soundstage and Grill MOD

      I'm not aware of many people owning the Koss UR-55, but I just did a mod the other day and I liked it so much that I felt I absolutely MUST share it with everyone. It turns a good headphone into something really great and improves many things. I always liked the UR-55 but sometimes I felt...

    Koss UR-55: Better than Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro/80s?

    If bass is your main intention, these cans out of the box are great.  They don't get as LOUD as the Beyers, but!!!..:   -It's punchier -There's more extension, in a kickdrum, for example.   All of this is out of the box, with less than 1 hour of use.   On Pendulum's "Slam"... they...

    Deal Alert: AKG k44 MKII for $29.99 + Free Shipping

    I picked these up today after seeing this deal online. I've been wanting a pair for a few months, but was afraid that for the $50 or so they'd sound terrible and my Guitar Center doesn't accept returns.   Out of the box everything sounds very good. Nothing jumps out at me that sounds bad. So...

    Can't decide best headphones for christmas gift

    So I'm new to headphones and while i may not be an Audiophile, yet, I do know of the top brands.   Right now through tons of searching I've narrowed my decision down to:  Bose AE2 Sennheiser HD205, HD 203, and HD 205-II  And I looked at some Koss but while their models are that eye...

    Looking to buy first pair of cans, suggestions?

      When I was younger I got the Sony mdr v300.  Yes, I know thy're horrible, but my mom thought they were great because the salesperson really talked them up to her, and they're better than stock apple earbuds. I few years back I received the Bose in ear headphones as a gift, which were my...

    Koss UR55 or anything else under $60 for all kinds of music.

    My friend wants to buy a headphone for all types of music. I recommended M50s because it wasn't expensive, but he wants to try something cheap first. He asked me about the Koss UR55. Are those a good set for $50. Are there any other headphones that are better for $60>?

    What are the best portable headphones on a 50 USD budget?

    I'm a wannabe audiophile, but I'm way to poor/cheap to spend money on the better stuff. >_>   Can I get some advice?

    Sub $50 headphones... Porta Pros vs. RP-HTX7's vs DHP-II's vs UR-55's vs. ???

    I read over the stick up top, and those are the three that stood out, but I also know there are a bunch of headphones I don't know about.   I listen to hip hip / pop / modern rock (three day's grace, disturbed, shinedown etc).  I want something comfortable first and foremost, but I also like...

    Looking for closed headphones for 50$

    I'm not looking for the best sound, just something that I'll be able to hear with it. I'll buy it on eBay (I live in Israel so the shipping will be kinda high..)

    If the xb500 and the hd428 had a love child

    I would kidnap it and would never be seen again.  Picked up these 2 at Best Buy the other day and I just cant pick one.    The xb500 has big bass which I l've but sometimes everything else gets lost in that.  I am trying to EQ it down some.  I mean, these things are like my car stereo system...

    stupid me, I started lookign at full-sized 'phones again

    I am finally happy with my IEM inventory so I accidentally started lookign at cans.  Originally I had a $50 Best Buy gift card I was trying to spend.  my searching has done what it normally does and the scope has now crept away from the orginal intent. I just want a good set of headphones now...

    Review: Koss UR 55

    First...yeah I know I JUST reviewed the Sennheiser HD 201s.   Well, guess what. I just returned them. I found these Koss headphones called the UR 55 at my best buy, demo'd them on my mp3 player, liked them, returned the Sennheiser and bought the Koss.   Well...I'm stunned. I'm absolutely...

    Good portable headphones?

    Like the title says, anyone know of any good portable headphones? I do quite enjoy the Shure SRH240's that i'm using right now, but there is no way they're gonna fit in my bag. I have a budget of about $60-$80, and I'd prefer for them to not open-back, since i'm usually surrounded by a lot of...
