what is the best circumaural headphones under $30??



Pretty difficult to do anything with that budget. You used to be able to find the JVC HA-S700 or the odd colors of the Panasonic RP-HTX7 for that much but they're closer to $35-40 now.

I'd love to see you do T50, P5, ES10, ESW10, or some of them, in this classic roundup

I was gonna say the Maxell DHP II are close but went check the price at amazon ... 79$!!
 
I have heard the Senn HD202 are pretty decent, but never tried them, might want to read about them, perhaps.
 
Out of curiosity, why does it have to be circumaural? why not on-ear?

If I could possibly make a request, please review the Superlux HD-668 B. These things are a little hidden gem

 
It is! but this is a portable shootout, and the superlux isnt.

[...] in order to be included in the thread a headphone has to be at least one of these three things:
 
1. Supraaural
2. Flat-folding and/or collapsible
3. Outfitted with a portable-length (<5ft) cable

Superlux 668b comes with detachable 1 meter and 3 meter cables. that qualifies it for number 3

which is better in every way??



Neither... the JVC is more comfortable, more portable, and more isolating. The Panasonics are more fun to listen to and built better.
