So I am a soon-to-be college student looking to finally get some quality headphones to replace my current $15 Sony monstrosities. I'm looking to spend under or around $100, and they will mostly be plugged into a monitor running a PC and PS3.
I have looked at 5.1 phones and amps, as well as headphone amps, but it seems like a bank-breaking hassle, especially since, for now, I'd rather just have headphones that plug into the headphone jack on my monitor or stereo and sound good. I'm no audiophile, so anything that makes rock, movies, and games sound good for the money is fair game.
However, my options are limited because I will be in a dorm next year, so I'm looking for closed headphones that can be played loud without much leakage. So far, I've only really had the JVC HA-RX900s suggested to me, which are nice and cheap but seem almost a non-entity online. No one has explained to me yet while a Google search for them yields no reviews apart from the enthusiastic support of two or three forum posters... they don't even show up on JVC's website (although the HA-RX700s don't, either)...
So, to summarize: any suggestions for good, sub-$100 closed headphones that sound satisfactory without any sort of amp? (Any info casting light on the HA-RX900 mystery would also be appreciated.)
