Hey there!
 
As i've owned my A500s for quite some time, they decided to give up on me completely.
Now i would like to buy a pair of new ones in the same price range.
 
I'm listening to music and watching a movie or two from time-to-time, so no focus on gaming whatsoever.
 
As you can tell i don't have loads of cash, the new pair should be around $100-120 max. And it would be good if these cans don't require any amp that much, just like A500s.
 
 
Thanks for helping me out,
a dude
 
Edtit: It's a risky investment (again) as i live in a country where you don't have much picking.
