I was thinking about getting these Sony MDR-EX71SL:

I've seen them selling for $30 over at MiniDisco.com.............Great buy!

I was too; decided on the Panasonic HJE50s, though, because while apparently very similar (you can switch the covers around on the things), the Panasonic has balanced sound. Cheaper, too.

i'll throw in the usual MD33 recommendation.

Wouldn't be head-fi without it.

I have both the EX71s and the MD33s. I got the EX71s from PCMALL for about $33 with free shipping. The price is now $32 plus shipping. I just got a pair of MD33s and I really like them. I listen to a lot of audio books and the clarity of the MD33s is very welcome. The only problem with the MD33s is the four pole design which necessitates the use of the 4 pole to 3 pole extension cord. But I found that the simple Radio Shack volume control cord (12 inch long) will convert the four pole to three pole.

I like the Sony MDR-EX300, which you can get refurbished on ebay for about 20
