Go figure. This is my first post to the forum, and I'm certainly asking the question that has been asked a thousand times before:

Please recommend a good set of headphone for under $100 US.

My intended uses are:

1. with my bass/amp.
2. with my guitar/amp.
3. with my PC sound card (Soundblaster Audigy Platinum).
4. with my MP3 player (Nomad Jukebox).
5. with my laptop for music and DVD's (Dell 8100).

My only real requirement that I can think of is that I don't want a coiled cord and would prefer one that is at least 10ft/3m in length.

Thanks!!

I realize that I am new to the board, but I would really appreciate your input. From the posts that I've read thus far, folks on this board seem to be very knowledgeable.

If it weren't for you requirement of no coiled cord I would reccomend the Sony V6s. Durable, great bass extension, portable (fold and have carrying case). They are what I use for portable/computer listening, and I have lent them to some of my friends to use with their amps (bass and guitar) and they said they worked great. The coiled cord is kinda heavy though.

I may be able to bend on the coiled cord. My experience with them in the past (distant) is that they may be 10 feet in length, but a coiled versus a non-coiled set is a big deal when I'm moving around with my instrument.

Would it work to get the V6's and add a male/female extension cable to it? How would the effect the sound?

Thanks very much for you reply.
