Hello everyone.

Wishing to purchase a headphone under 100$, I'd like the best compromise for comfort.
Low Ohms for PC on Asus Xonar DS.
 
I thought about the Sony MDRXB700
 
Please, excuse my English.
In advance, thank you.

Semi-open headphones
Panasonic RP-HTF600-S, with Beyer EDT 200 Velour ear pads.
Samson SR850 (made by Superlux).
 
Closed headphones
CALs (Creative Aurvana Live)

Closed:
Sony V6
KRK 6400
Shure SRH-440
Sennheiser HD448 
 
Open:
Sennheiser 555 (I see at least one online price at 100)
Audio Technica ADH-AT700 (should be able to find for less than 100)
Superlux HD668B

I have owned and enjoyed the bold-faced cans listed, and don't hesitate to recommend them. The others get good reviews, but I cannot speak for them personally. 
 
Do you have a sound signature you prefer? Lots of bass? Or something more geared towards rock, or female vocals, etc.

Panasonic HTF-600 S, is by far THE best setup for under 100, I pair it with my XONAR DG, drives fine without an amp, sounds a little better with amp.

the panasonic is a total fotm. it is decent for the price, has nice bass, but the mids and highs seem small compared to a sony v6 or a shure srh440.
for a closed headphone also consider jvc harx700 or 900.
 
the sony is the best all-rounder, the shure is more studio/enthusiest oriented, the jvcs and the panasonic are 'fun'. 
 
are u a gamer? then i would get the jvc harx900. audio purist? get the shure. basshead? panasonic or jvcs
 
all round best- the sony v6
 
the sony xb700 is also a big fluffy bassheads can. recessed in the high end tho

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by 'audio purist?' Meaning the shures are most neutral/truest to the music recorded and the way it's supposed to sound? I haven't heard any shures before but I've always been intrigued.

Heya,
 
Add $18 to the limit, and get the Fischer Audio FA-011.
 
Very best,

I love Grado's and recommend them in a heartbeat - but not to anyone who mentions "comfort" as a primary criteria.

Always good advice. You can find the V6 at great prices without resorting to buying grey market from the far east.

I wear eyeglasses, and the on-ear phones put a good amount of uncomfortable pressure as a result. I do love them though.

thats exactly what i mean. for this price range, the shures are one of the best at that

Honestly, a modded t50rp can sound godly but they need serious amping.

I'm curious to try those - both stock and modded... someday soon.
