I'm trying to buy a new set of headphones for my computer and for xbox gaming, but i dont hav that much money to spend.

 

[Swazidoughman]

SR60 perhaps?

Grado SR60i if you don't mind open phones ( that leak sound out, and allow some outside sound in.) Is your computer use for gaming too...or to listen to music?

I will give another vote for the SR60's. I bought my SR80's for $100 around 6 years ago, and I still use them to this day.

My vote is also for the SR60i. About 6 months ago i had a budge of 100$ and i wanted my first pair of decent headphones, after learning about and reading Head-fi i decided to get the SR60is.

I absolutely love the cans, i think they sound amazing. They are fairly easy to drive, and i find they work great with basically all genres of music. Im bad at describing the sound though, so ill leave that to much more experienced head-fiers

one thing about them though is, since they sit flush against your ears they can become a little uncomfortable after 3-4 hours of wearing them. around that 3 hours point my ears tend to get really warm and/or itchy, but the problem is solved by taking 10-15 min break from them.

Best of luck in your decision making

Equation Audio RP-15 may be another good choice.
I honestly don't know as I've only tried the RP-21's, but at least those where good.

Grado SR60, too.

Skullcandy Titan.

This question comes up a lot and the overwhelming answer has always been and will always be SR-60, as you can see. In fact, the SR-60 is often the answer even when the price goes up to 100, except for then, its the sr-80. There is just no competing with it in this price range. Be careful though, they are gateway drugs to the wonderful world of headphone addiction....there is no cure. I give you a year before you sell your xbox and wind up with some RS-1i's

There used to be an action called read the stickies.

Honestly though..as soon as you mention bass, it seems the SR-60s fade away for some reason. At least that's the impression I got over the course of lurking for a while..

 

[iamthecheese]

The Sr60s arent the can to get for gaming(imo)... Look into the JVC rx700s and rx900s

 

[barleyguy]

I want to throw in another vote for the SR-60's. They are great cans for the price. Some other good options in that price range are the Creative Aurvana Live (a rebranded Denon 1001), which is a closed headphone, and the Sennheiser HD485, which has a pretty significant bass bump, but will will have a little bit larger soundstage than the SR-60's.

SR60i for music, might not be the best gaming phone. Maybe the PX100 (Can be found for as low as $25) may be a better option. They offer a wider, deeper soundstage that may be beneficial to the gamer. Both of these headphones are open though and will leak sound. Not sure if that is a show stopper.

sr60 may be bright , try portapro. Imho the koss is more versatile sounding than the grado.
