Good portable headphones?

[targetmaster]

I already own a HD555 but it is not very portable.

So I'm looking for cans which are comfortable while walking or travelling, around $50, decent bass.

I was going to buy the PX 100 but I heard it slips off easily while you are moving. I'm not sure but thats what I heard.

thanks.

I have a friend who has the PX 100 and his doesn't slip while walking or anything like that.. may be you should check out the in-ear kinda design... CX 300 etc..

My PX100 fits fine... I can play ball with them on

Someone has to mention Koss KSC75's, amazing at about $15, so it might as well be me. I prefer them to the PX100s. The PX100s bass is sloppy and colors everything, IMO. You might check out Koss Portaphones or Sportaphones. Both are very nice for < $50.

Why not try the i-Grado? Sounds good only that its open-cans and neckband.
It's definitely a worth the value headphone.

iGrados would probably stay on better. Sound wise I prefer the PX 100's and I find that they stay on for me just fine.

So..are you guys sure the PX 100 wont keep slippin off while im moving? cuz im gonna get it soon.

You might want to look at the Sony MDR-V6. They can be found around $50, are closed and are nicely portable. They even fold up for storage. I had a pair for years and still think they're pretty good. I also like the iGrado.

i'm pretty sure the px100 wont "slip off"... i see plenty of people walking/jogging around campus with them on

Yes, (as been said like 7 times) the Px100's stay on your head quite well, I would definitely get them if you want a pretty good pair of portable phones. They come with a 2 year Sennheiser warranty too.

x2; plus they're good for working out as well.

I would go for the iGrados, these sound pretty amazing for portable stuff.

I do enjoy the KSC75s when I workout. They are a good value for $15 for sure

. My porta pros are pretty good as well.

KSC75s are good, but they might fall off from your ears when jogging and you might step on them

PortaPros are better at staying on your head. Sporta-pros with portapro drivers are even better!
