Best $50.00 Headphones?

[sulac0]

I have about $50.00 to spend and want sound quality. Where should I start?

Well, I'm going to say the Koss KSC75. It's as low as 13 bucks, but I don't think there's another headphone $50 or under that can beat it.

I'd go with the Koss Porta-Pro, Koss KSC-35 or Koss KSC-75 as well.

What about the lower end Sennheiser's? I saw some good reviews for the 205's I think they are called?

Should I step up a bit and spend a little more to get better sound quality? I listen to mostly classical and new age music so I need something that will cover a good range.

Sennheiser PX10 will beat it! Got my last pair for $17.

i prefer the old-driver PX100 to the KSC-75... but not by much.

Im assuming thats an error and you meant PX100, if so, where did you find them for $17 ? Would love to get some at that price as gifts.

If portability isn't needed, I would recommend the Audio Technica ATH-M30. It's 50 bucks on Amazon.com:

In my view, this is the best headphone you can get overall for 50 bucks. If you need portability, the Koss KSC75 or Sennheiser PX100 are excellent.

Easy! When I bought my RS1, they gave me a pair of SR60s for $20 off! That's a $50 headphone right there!

Either KSC-35/75
-or-
A used Grado SR60.

if we are going to suggest cheapest headphones, I'd recommend JVC HA-L50, for under $10.

There really are sennheiser headphones called the PX10.
