Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a pair of affordable headphones (<$50 after taxes/shipping).


Use:
- listen to games/watching movies from my Macbook pro
- connected to my iphone while just walking around or while flying/travelling

Music types:
- hip hop, r&b, edm

Requirements:
- Comfortable, I need to be able to wear them for several hours. I would to be able to fall asleep on a plane with them on.
- not too worried about noise cancellation
- bass is nice but would rather want good audio quality all around over loud bass



I'm located in Florida if that matters. I usually buy my electronics from Amazon anyways.

One of the very best performance values!

Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely like what Ive been reading about the JVC HA-S500. The S500 is about 45.00 on Ebay but the S680 is $60 which I can still afford. Should I go ahead and purchase the S680?
 
Here's the ebay link:

NIce!

The wait on receiving headphone equipment from Asia can be trying. Try to forget about them. LOL
