Per the vox populi at Epinions:
http://www.epinions.com/elec-Audio-H.../sort_dir_~des
10. KSC 55 ($20)
09. Panasonic RP-HS9 ($10)
08. Sony MDR E818LP Ear-bud Headphones ($6)
07. Koss KSC-35 Headphones ($30)
06. AKG Acoustics K 141M Headphones ($79)
05. Sony MDR W08L Vertical Headphones ($6)
04. Sony MDR W20G Vertical Headphones ($12)
03. Sennheiser EH 2270 Ear-cup Headphones ($67)
02. Beyerdynamic DT 831 Headphones ($143)
(drumroll here...)
01. Technics RP-DJ1200A DJ Headphones (Silver) ($105)
Hmm, so points to ponder:
a) Sony only has 30% of the slots locked in, and all for earbud style phones. Koss holds another 20% of the slots. Sennheiser and Beyer have underperformed and Grado has been thorughly trounced. And Technics ... what an unexpected dark horse!
b) Who says headphone collecting is expensive? The average price of our winners circle is less than $50, and 5 models are $20 or less.
c) Reviews of many of these fine products seem to be in short supply on this forum. Let's tear ourselves away from our $950 ear molds and RS1s and move towards convergence with our proletarian bretheren...
