I agree.

If you're capable of extending your budget, the Grado SR-60 would be your best bet. But from what I understand, you won't be able to. The Koss KSC-75 is perfect then.

Oui, le Grado est fantastique aussi. Et si tu achetes les a utilisés, les SR-60s ne sont chers pas.

I am a noob but just wanted to give heads up on sr60's price ($69)

 

[GSTom1]

Ooztuncer, welcome to Head-Fi and sorry about your wallet...

 

[insomniac]

A used SR-60 should fall right in your price range. And by golly, look who has one for sale!

 

[incognitoedleon]

The OP wanted isolation and the SR60 doesn't have that.

hd201 seems best bet for you. cheap, closed-design, sounds pretty good. and they DO have bass (just depends on what your source is). I'd suggest ksc75 or px100 but those are open-design.

 

[skudmunky]

I'd take the HD202 over the HD201, the 202 has a warmer, bassier sound.

I'm surprised - no recommendations for K81 DJ? I've read lots of people comparing it to the MS1/SR60 level for quality (some even say it's the best <$100 can), and it's closed with good isolation. Apparently quite well-suited for rock. It sells for around $69 from Headroom, and I'm sure it sounds worlds better than the XD200 or HD201/202 (all three are crap imho).

Hmm, if the K81DJ is out of reach, perhaps a K26P? Though, I'm not sure if the somewhat overpowering bass may pose a problem.

Sorry for your walet. I started with 85$ SR-60s and I have constant upgraditis. I recommend a used set of SR-60s or PX100s.

In Canada, where our french compatriot lives and I as well, a SR60 retails for around 119 dollars and the K81 around 80.

Down in the States, I imagine that they're priced pretty evenly.

Manchau, You should feel lucky to skip all the crap headphones out there. Personally I have to say it's a toss-up between Grado SR60 and AKG K81 if you expand your budget by $9.

Closed: AKG K81
Open: Grado SR60

I'm a newbie like yourself and just dove into a set of Sennheiser HD-201's and from a rookies point of view there pretty amazing. They have a nice balanced sound a good bass extension.

I'm from Canada as well and paid 38 bucks total, shipping and all for a new set off ebay. Awesome deal.

This site will get you though, I've been here for a week and I'm already looking at a set of either Grados or HD-580's!
