I've had a pair of fairly poor quality headphones for a long time now, and they've finally given up the ghost. The plastic has cracked, and I have failed to superglue it back together. So I'm in the market for new headphones, this time of the non-crappy variety.

My budget isn't large, I'd like to keep it sub-$100. Looking around, I've seen that Grado SR60 and SR80 come pretty highly recommended and fit my budget. Also, Newegg has a pair of Seinnheiser HD 485's for $65.00, which seems like a good price. And the reviews seem to all be positive.

Of these, what are your recommendations? Are there any other sub-$100 (US) quality headphones that I'm looking over?

Also, I've never found IEMs to be comfortable, though then again I've never tried Shure e2c or e3cs. Though I won't be taking the headphones out of the house, so I really don't have a need for IEMs.

I've had a pair of Sennheiser headphones (PX100) for a while now and even after heavy use I've had no problems with them.

Must we have a headphones thread every other day? There should just be a headphones thread sitckied somewhere.

Seinnheiser = win.

Those look like a good choice for headphones.

I'm wearing a pair of 485s right now. They rule.

Sennheiser. It's a party in your ears.

I searched through the archives, but I couldn't find anything on the Grado SR60s or SR80s, so I figured that I would ask to see if anybody had heard of them. Sounds like I'll be going with the Seinnheiser's, though Newegg's out of stock on them until the 31st.

One more quick question: since Newegg is out of stock on the 485s, I looked at Tigerdirect. They have the 485s for $68.99 and the 515s for $79.99 regular, and $49.99 refurb. Are the refurb's worth it? And are the 515s good enough to warrant spending an extra $10?

Try checking out the reviews on CNET. That's how I decided upon the 485s, as they had an average user rating of 9.2.

Well, IEMs are awesome, and in your price range usually outclass headphones quality/price wise. But if you insist, yeah, your current pick sounds good. If you do change your mind and decide to go with IEMs though, I suggest checking out the E2c's and the Etymotic ER-6i's. They both fit right into your budget and both are great products.

Just offering the info up in case you change your mind.

i have a pair of Sennheiser 515s. awesometastic.

Get the Sennheisers. Grado sucks. I had their SR-325s once, and my $15 KSC-35 sounded better. No joke, no exaggeration. They're just bad. They have a following because of their "unique" sound, and arguably sound better for some times of rock or jazz, but for everything else they blow more than a Hong Kong hooker.
