I sold my Sennheiser HD 439's. I'm without cans once again. Not sure what I'm gonna get next, but I'd really like the very best BUDGET cans they make, that are balanced in sound sig, with maximum clarity, separation, comfortable, and for someone on a budget ($50.00-80.00). Any tips?

Just curious. Why did you sell your HD 439s? And have you considered modding them before selling?

It had more to do with fit than sound. I thought the sound was great. very clear. very balanced. The problem is they never sat well on my head, and the slightest headbanging movement and they flew off. This was unacceptable, especially since i owned the Koss Porta Pros. Any suggestions for balanced cans in the $80-120 range that actually fit snug on the head?

ATH-AD700 (most comfortable of the set)
K550 (blind rank...  they're still in the box)
T50RP (would be higher if I had time to mod them)
ATH-M30 (decent sound and the cups contain the sound very well)
SRH440 (these would be higher if they were lighter, and could contain noise better)
