Honestly, the only way I could afford an amp right now is if I paid with a credit card.

It might be a good idea to contact JMT for prices, believe me, its worth a try. I cant say how much i paid, but ask him anyway.

I actually had PMed JMT last fall looking into prices, so I know the rough price. I suppose I could try cutting down on expenses even more, but I'm doing that enough - I haven't been out in ages!

Personally I think the Sennheiser HD590s are badly underrated!

C'mon, someone, show me some support here!

I'm with Vertigo, Sony A44...

Now, I think the CD3000s are a little overrated... just me...

I picked up a pair of Sony MDR-55's a few years back, and they've proved to be about the only pair of 'department store' headphones I've ever been satisfied with.

They were about twenty bucks. They're lightweight, have a single-side cord that's light without being 'cheap', extending ten feet to a screw-on 1/4 inch adapter.
They're an open-air design - while they don't have enough bass to please too many folks, the clarity is a heck of a lot better than the 'it came with the walkman' phones.

I use 'em mostly for ham radio and shortwave listening. When the earpads wore out, I replaced 'em with the RatShack generic replacements - and was happy to find that the sound quality and comfort were both improved!

Don't get me wrong - these aren't going to blow anyone's $100+ 'phones out of the water, but for $20, I'm happy to have 'em in my stable of headphones.

They wouldn't be underrated if you got any support, now would they?

Lol, but that was a retorical remark!

Well, just to prove a point, the AKG-K501's are so underrated that no one else has mentioned them yet, so I will.

The K501's get my vote.
