Haven't been to this forum in a while. Have a bit of a different question for you guys. I'm looking for the best extremely cheap headphone I can buy. So anything over $20 being too expensive! Preferably something I can find in a store now and not have to search around for. Just something to pair up with my friends PC so they can use it for various purposes. Thanks!

Koss KSC-55/75. The KSC-35 is good too, but hard to find it stores I think. They're clip-ons.

the sony mdr 828lp , not bad , one of the better cheap sony ear buds

 

[Jahn]

yep the KSC35 is $29, so i guess the KSC75 is 19.99 = in your price range!

 

[Osaire]

Great, I appreciate the help. Do you guys happen to know any popular retail chains that might carry em?

For 15 bucks:

They're not absolutely amazing, but they can't be beaten for just 15 bucks...

edit:

Whoops, seems like they're discontinued. I'd sell you mine, but I threw them away when I bought my Grado's (I actually had dropped them and tripped over cords and stuff, and ended up accidentally breaking them, so that's why I threw them away).

labtech 840, ksc 50,55,75. phillips HP150, portapro/portapro2, KTX pro 1, UR40

you should be able to find one of those.

Hm... I've heard the KSC35 and the MX400s, and last I checked they were somewhere near the 20s? But those would be the two i'd recommend from first hand experience.

 

[S_Dedalus]

The easiest ones to find seem to be the KSC 50's and 55's, and they sound pretty good, kind of like baby grados.

 

[nleahcim]

so can people near you hear what you're listening to when using KSC35s or KSC75s?

 

[sigma]

If it's real loud, yes.

 

[Judge Crandall]

You can get the MX500's for $15-$20 at Circuit City.

Osaire: I'd recommend to look into the Creative HQ-1300.
