Help me find some decent headphones

[Hundreth 10+ year member]

I'm in the market for some new headphones to replace my POS sony ones. I'm looking for something in the 60-80 dollar range that will be comfy and sound natural/detailed.

I don't really know anything about the headphones out there, so if you guys could please recommend some good stuff I would be thankful forever. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Also, if you don't think I can truly find anything good for that price range, recommend something in a different price range. Thanks again.

For that range, I'd look into Grado's.

SR80's...

if you can afford the little upgrade, the SR125's are a good choice as well.

I'd go for Sennheiser's offering in that price range, not sure of models, but they are a GREAT mid/highend can company. I own a set of HD 555's and they are ridiculously comfortable and detailed... you can get them for $100 if you shop around, if these sound this good, I'd assume their model $20 down is gonna be close.

Whatever fits your budget. probably the sr60, maybe you can find some affordable sr80s

So it seems to be the common consensus that Grado's and Sennheiser's offerings are the best. I'll check into it.

Any other reccs before I seal the deal and make a purchase?

Okay I was gonna get the SR60s but I just read that the bass on the SR80s is a big step up from the SR60s. So now I'm probably gonna go with the SR80s. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Check out the senn's at a local store. The hd515's are pretty nice.

The HD515s fit my budget perfectly, but I'm trying to find out how they compare to the SR60s before I pick up the SR80s...
