My friend is looking for pair of skullcandy hesh

I do hate skullcandy's sound (but they look awesome). She said the sq doesn't mater, but i want to make her an audiophile too like how i made my other friends audiophiles by getting them the good ones

So now I'm looking for a substitute that has about the same looks and price (sub $90)

by far my choices are AKG K 518 LE/DJ and the ATH-FC7/5

they need to be portable, which means it has to be foldable enough, but they have to be closed but no noise cancelation, cirum-aural and "pretty" like the skullcandy's coolness. the sq doesnt have to be grado level, just not crappy.

any sugestions on what i should get? or additons?

I hope money isn't an issue because i was thinking the es55 or es7. It folds flat. Though not a punk rocker kind of cool look, more of a refined classy look.

its too plain

it needs to have color

and it has to be under $90

but I might get that for myself sometime in the near future

J2, tons of colors there and cheap.

 

[z50j]

it has the skullcandy coolnes factor but their not headphones

You've probably had a look here already but heres the audiocubes site with some you might like: AudioCubes.com - Portable, Casual

The zumreeds look pretty crazy. And some headphones have multiple color options. Gotta open the page first.

they look good

Audio Technicas aside, how good do they sound

 

[blehbleh]

Not sure, not a lot of reviews online except for those customer reviews. They do look really nice though. A thread says the akg's may be a better choice

Hope these help:

I owned a pair of sport senns, OMX 70, before they got lost. great sound and all but i need headphones

The JAYS d-Jays come in a bunch of different colors and sound good too.

 

[blehbleh]

what about! : Jays

I'm out of ideas haha. And he keeps saying he needs headphones, yet people recommend buds.

 

[ka-boom]

Ive never listened to those cJays. Check the d-Jays review in my signature link for more pictures, fit, and quality information.

AKG K518 for sure! They rock some pretty awesome bass, have decent detail and look cool
