What's the best headphone for $20?

[iflabs]

My stock Creative Zen headphone is breaking off in one of the earbuds so I need to replace it. What's the best headphone out in the market for $20 or less?

Koss KSC 75, it's at Radioshack for $20-$25.

hands down, ksc75. available at amazon for $14. free shipping for orders over $25, so buy 2

Also available at Circuit City, if you don't want to mail order, and don't want a large volume control on the cable.

Yep, everyone here has their own likes and dislikes and there are as many different opinions as there are members, but this might be the one thing that everyone here will agree on.

What about the AKG HP40?

Ahhh...an excellent closed headphone, and perhaps even better than the KSC75 for classical and jazz. But overall, I still enjoy the KSC75 more.

personally, i love my senn hd201's. I got them for 18$ when J&R was out of stock and offerred free shipping. It gave me my first taste of actual soundstage and sq, but i don't have anything to compare them to except for the ex71 and mx300, and i haven't heard the ksc-35/75, so i wouldn't know which was better.

Senn HD-201, all the way! Way more articulate than they deserve to be at this price point.

ksc 35 / 75

Maybe AKG K14P or senn MX500....
