Wondering about the right headphones for me ($50 range)
Jul 7, 2014 at 2:40 PM Post #19 of 23
  Used "like new" UE 6000 (two color choices) can currently be had from an Amazon third party seller for under $50 shipped.

 
Would choose UE6000s if budget $$ are possible and you trust the seller.  Have recently purchased 'Like New' Q701s from Amazon Warehouse and am very pleased with the condition / sound.  They're currently $40 on ebay from seller with 98.7% sat rating. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/310944340420
 
 
Other options might be:
 
Sennheiser HD360 Pro ($43)...nice sounding all-rounder for the money

Superlux 631s ($34)
http://www.amazon.com/Superlux-HD-631-Professional-Headphones/dp/B00CBLAGNM 
Haven't heard them but here's a review claiming they're Superlux's best yet (http://headfonics.com/2012/09/superlux-hd631-dj-headphones-their-best-yet/)
 
 
And...if you'd look at on ears (much sleeker look than the over ears):
JVC S4/500s ($27 or $50)
http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HAS400B-Nanotube-Headband-Headphones/dp/B008P8EXRU

or...AKG 518LEs (K81DJ) for $45ish

Have heard great things about Superlux and have seen wonderful reviews about these headphones.
Ordered them new on Amazon with two-day shipping and I'll give you all an update then about how these sound.

  Unfornately after buying my $55 Amazon Gift Card to spend on a new pair of Logitech UE 6000's i have came a few cents short after tax and shipping. Is there any other headphone equivalent for such a good deal, or will i just have to wait for prices to go down another dollar or two?


Wait for while and see if the price goes down a little.  Your situation is a unique one.  Maybe it's time to talk to dad.

Philips Downtown and Uptown headphones in the CitiScape series are being discontinued at Amazon. All the ones I have heard I have liked, bought a Uptown pair. Most of the downtown models are in your price range. Do not know if they are stylish enough for you, as this is personal taste. Check them out, there are several pairs that meet your gift card. Thanks and good luck.
