I'm looking for cheap headphones (yes, this has been heard of a LOT) that won't be driven by an amp, I'm a newbie to headphones, but I've done a lot of reading and I just want something that sounds really good for the price.
My mom needed new headphones for workout and we were at the local Frys, so I got to pick them out for her and I saw the SportaPro's, they were about the best portables I saw there, and I got them for her. I listened to them myself and they sound great!! How to the KSC-35's compare to them? I know they use the same drivers, but the designs are different so it makes for different sound.
The headphones I'm using are mainly for computer use and for my MP3 player. I was looking around at larger headphones and the Senn 497s and the Sony V6's look very appealing, but are they worth it over the KSC-35? I've heard so much praise about the Koss, do the Koss work well for computer use too? (listening to MP3s and playing FPS games, mainly Half-Life, MOHAA, RTCW) or would the V6 or 497 be better for that. I don't really like the look of the 497s, but they're decent, the V6's look REALLY nice, and the KSCs are fairly sweet and small.
What would you guys recommend?
PS- Why do the PortaPro's cost so much more than the SportaPro's when they look almost exactly the same and use the same drivers? ($30 vs. $50)
