Currently I have Sony MDR-EX51's. I enjoy the sound they produce as well as the price they cost me when i got them several years ago. I'm no audiophile, but i do enjoy music without breaking bank. I'm looking for a decent pair that are similar to the EX51's.
I found 3 pairs that might be plausible candidates for my future set, but i am willing to get other suggestions at the similar price range.
($15.99) Sennheiser CX300
($19.99) Sony Mdr-Ex75
($18.41) Sony Mdr-Ex55
Things I'm looking for...
1. similar clarity to my 51s.
2. a little more bass than the 51s.
3. little to no "stethoscope effect".
4. price range of 10-30$.
5. durability for years.
The first three are a must, the last two are more of a want.
My pair of 51's work perfectly fine after almost 3 years of service. But I wouldn't mind retiring them to gym use, and use my new pair for entertainment purposes. The chord on my 51s didn't give me much of a "stethoscope effect" that i experienced in most altec lansing headphones. So if you know by personal knowledge that any of the 3 listed above has any annoying flaws, id hope you can give some insight.
So if you can help me decide or give me a suggestion to a different type within the similar price range, it'd be very helpful. Thanks!
