Recommend me a cheap pair of phones

[Mark Larson]

Its easy to get carried away and spend big bucks on stuff. However, i'm trying not to do that.

I have an iPod 40GB, 3G. It has songs on it, many in 128kbps (don't ask). I play those songs and am usually happy with my Senn MX300s. However, they have a tendency to shake loose and fall out while walking, chewing, or even turning my head from side to side. The foam on one of them has also been lost, so that one is uncomfortable.

I'm an average guy. I'm just looking for something cheap that won't fall off all the time and provide decent quality and be low profile. (I can't have a pair of Grado SR80s draped around my neck in class

)

The cost must be less than $20, shipped to ZIP code 56001. Can you do it?

If you don't mind wrap arounds, the Koss KSC50 are inexpensive
(less than $15), sound good and are easliy driven by portables.

You can get them at Amazon for 12.99.
Click here if you want to order them (and help out Head-fi too).

Just search for Koss KSC50.

but with postage fees, would it be more than 20 bucks ?

Not if he orders something else along with it to get free shipping.

BTW, Sydney, near Australia?

 

[Kenny12]

i think he means syd in aus

actually didn't u know syd was an island off aust and was an independant country?

 

[dj_mocok]

Sydney is near australia, close to New Zealand.
You can go to SYdney by taking ferry from Melbourne or Canberra.

PS: Yep, Sydney is an independent country just like New Zealand and Tasmania.

No I didn't know, I feel so stupid now

If the quality of the sound is important to you, try the Koss Porta Pro, from what I've heard/read, they shouldn't disappoint when in the lower price bracket.

Right now, they're on sale for only $19.99

SICK!

Why not the MX500's? I would reccomend these over the porta pro's any day of the week. They are only $17.99 on amazon.

On thing you might try is to buy Radioshack foam for your mx300. They work very well with my Mx400 and stay better in my ears. Or maybe get an MX500 to upgrade

$2
Link to an other tread with picture(Do Not get the silicon thingy also in the picture)

But if I were you the PortaPro is also a good phone for the price.

I'm very interested in the Koss Porta Pro's. Will they stay in place during running and other strenous activities? Or should i get a cheapo pair of Philips sport headphones (10bux at walmart) and be done with it?
