I'd like to buy some closed headphones under about $200/£100, preferably under $100/£50. Sound quality for less is important, which is why I'm drawn towards the AKG K26P and Sennheiser HD201. I'll be listening to mostly rock and electronic music, with a few classical symphonies. My favourite headphones include the Grado Rs-1 and Sennheiser Hd595. A quick look through ebay and on here and I've made a shortlist, I'd just like to know what you nice people think of these headphones and how they sound/compare.
Here's the list of closed headphones I can get easily new:
Beyerdynamic DT231/250-80/660
Sennheiser HD25-1/201/202/212/280/EH250
AKG K-26P/K271S
and used:
Sony MDR-CD1700
AKG K44/55
I am tempted by a heavily discounted Shure E4C/Etymotic ER-4P but I don't want a canalphone and they're a bit expensive.
