DT770/80's are currently just over $100 refurbished on ebay.
They are definately an option for someone buying in the $100 range

Yeah, I don't know why acix would state that. They might be a little more new, but buying them refurbished is definitely an option in this price range.

What do others think of the AKG K240s? They are around the $100 mark used.

I barrowed a pair for a week and thought they compared very nicely to my Byer DT770s.

^ They're at the $100 mark new on Amazon.

rx700 vs 900? im leaning more towards the denon d1001 and the audio technica es7 because of the looks though.

 

[Rex81]

RX700 is easily my pick, but they're huge, and if style is important to you the D1001 would be a better bet as its smaller and sleeker.

 

[untrueparadox]

d1001 it is then. wheres the cheapest place to find it? new, refurbished, or used but in mint condition are all good. amazon has it for $129.99 which is somewhat out of my budget.

 

[jonathanjong]

headroom for $89.

 

[lutwey]

ill go with the ms1. they are pretty hard to beat at around 100 usd.

 

[untrueparadox]

if headphone.com is what youre referring to as headroom, the price is $119.99 when added to cart unfortunately.

 

[jonathanjong]

eek! nicht gut! was $89 a few days ago!

Edit: Buy.com is out.

Hmm, looks like you're out of luck for the moment. Creative Arvuna Live,maybe? Supposed to be the same drivers in a different casing. No idea how that affects SQ.

If you can find them on Ebay M-Audio Q40 under $100 new,


Sound Amazing

 

[jonathanjong]

Was underwhelmed by Q40, actually. Just didn't have the bass response I was looking for. But maybe I'm a basshead. Though I loved my ER-6i and was blown away by K701. So, meh.

 

[untrueparadox]

is there any way to change the plug? i wont be using it on the go, but if i decide to, that plug looks too fat to plug into my iphone 2g. is there a way to change that or do i need to buy an adapter? most of the headphones listed here wouldnt work, i think the denon d2000 is the only one that looks like it might be able to. hows the sennheiser hd555? i found a couple off ebay for 80-100.

 

[Rex81]

Only way to change the plug would be to chop it off and resolder another one on. The D2000 is an excellent phone but its big and the cheapest ones I've seen are on here for about $220. HD555 is a nice headphone. Balanced and clear, a good value. Its bigger than the D1001 and an open design meaning your sound leaks out and outside noise leaks in. But if you don't mind that, its a good choice.
