I'm getting a Sansa Fuze and i figured i might as well get a decent set of headphones to go with it.. I mainly listen to rock music and my budget is $60 canadian.. Ear buds and what not are a possibility too.
I've been Looking at the Sennheiser hd 202s.

Amazon always has Senn HD 202's on Sale.
I bought a five-Pack of them for 90.00. and I love them. Small, lightweight, Excellent sound for "Cheap" cans.

Up until about 4 months ago they were all I used and I was perfectly happy with them. I've given away all but two pair.

Headroom....headphone.com has some great reviews.

I recommend the JBL 410 Reference, if willing to do a couple simple and inexpensive modifications to it. Sells new for ~$20 shipped.

If you want buds, get the ER6Is from Amazon for $50.

 

[deadly55]

Well i can't get any of those on amazon.ca ncix has the hd 202s on sale for $35 though.

Seems like that's your only choice, so I say go for it.

There's some skullcandys too, the Skullcandy Smokin Buds Stereo Earbuds IN-LINE Volume Control 9MM Driver on sale too. The Sennheiser HD212Pros are for like 85$ and i might get them if i have enough after getting a mp3 player. how are skullcandys?

 

[batmanwcm]

Don't even bother with skull candy. If you're raising your budget, check out the Grado SR60 or SR80. They are great rock cans.

 

[deadly55]

Grados are a no go, I can't buy them from amazon.ca or ncix (the onyl places i can buy from online)

 

[Moocher]

Is there anything wrong with the used forums?

If you listen to rock, at some point you must own Grados. Last I looked there were some 80s for sale used, and there are often 60s. For less, find the Koss KSC 75s, they are always mentioned in bang-for-the-buck discussions.

KSC-75 were on sale at RadioShack for approx. 6.

Get a pair of Grados from one of the sellers at Audiogon. They'll ship to Canada. You could also stretch a little for an Alessandro MS-1. They will ship to you, as well.

x3. Koss KSC-24/35/55/75's all use the same drivers and are all excellent phones. I prefer them to Grado's SR60's (which are too bright for me) and w/ Kramer mods are almost as good as SR80's. And they all go for $15-25 or so apiece. They're an insanely good bargain.

 

[deadly55]

hmm.. hd 202s still might be the only ones in my budget.
thanks though.. I might get t the grados at a later date.
