HF5s for sure.... one of the best values out there.

I have compared the MC5 to my HF3 and there is a huge difference.  Since the HF3 / HF5 fit in his budget, I'd totally step it up.

I've had both and completely agree that HF5 >> MC5.  I was going on the OP $100 budget, not the $130 MAX.  But hey, if $130 is a stretch, the HF5 is about $150 now, and you might find a nice used set for $100-125.

With the coupon code CHILL11, the HF5 can be had from Earphonesolutions for $102. That's a good deal.

Wow prices have gone way up from etys $99 deal for hf3 earlier in the year when I picked mine up. Any rate amazon is still selling hf5 cobalt at $99

I was basing my comments on the availability o hf5 at that range
