I am not really a audiophile but I really want an upgrade from some crappy headphones i just picked up for like 10 dollars in K mart. i started hearing cracking and popping sound so i need some new headphones...
Also I have a zune 80 but their "premium" headphones are not good enough for me. So 2 headphones needed.

they need to be...
around/ less than $100 total for two earphones
one in-ear for my zune
one just regular full size headphones for home use
the full size need to have a longer wire because i want to walk around in the room not leaving my music
looks and comfort are also factors to me

so far i have found
sony EX51, senn CX300, Denon AH-C351, creative ep-630, sharp md33s for zune

and
Senn HD457

Are there other suggestions that you guys can give or help me decide?
especially on the full-size headphones

thanks in advance

Okay someone suggested mylar x3, after reading its super positive review from everywhere.
I am getting them....still wondering about full size tho?
I will have 40 left but i really cannot go over 50 unless it's like 1 dollar or something haha...thanks for helping

hd555's are really good full sized headphones for a little bit over $100 and also Grado SR 60 are good for fullsized under $100

 

[flexium]

sorry if i wasn't clear...$100 for both of the headphones

Take a look at Altec Lansing IM716 they are on special at newegg for $54.99

 

[XaNE]

oh Grado SR 60 can find under $65 and u still got alot of money left

 

[davidr2287]

Get the IM716's on special and spend a little more to get the SR 60's or look on ebay for a good deal on some AKG K240S

SR60s + some kind of canalphone like the Mylar X3s could work for you.

i can't find much info on mylar x3? is it really old?


can you guys rank the headphones that i have listed too??

sony EX51, senn CX300, Denon AH-C351, creative ep-630, sharp md33
senn HD 457

Altec Lansing IM716 + Grado SR60 is definitely a good combo for slightly over $100, but that extra bit of money is well worth it.

i did a little homework for mylar x3 and they are very positive.....the IM716 is white that pretty much would be my last option...since zune is black haha


can someone tell me more about the x3?isn't there an x3i and xb out too? more expensive i guess?

For on ear headphones I would recommend Senn PX-100 or Koss Porta Pro (if you want more bass) fun cheap headphones. Both can be had new for under $50 As for in ears I had CX-300 and traded them for a set of Creative 630. I thought the highs were better on the CX300 but I like the better construction of the 630. I use them for watching DVDs on a portable mostly since I have a set of Shure E4c's for music. If you need 2 sets of cans these would bring you at under $100 and give you a good start....for the inevitable cash flow to follow soon.
