Help Me

[bertine]

I need help. I want a pair of headphones for work to replace my earbuds. However, I have no idea what sort of headphones to buy nor do I have really want to research it that much. I do know that I have friends that know a lot about this sort of thing so I thought I would ask if any of you would have a good suggestion. I want to spend no more than $50 (less is better, I am still cheapfrugal but I don't want something that will fall apart quickly or be uncomfortable.

I want a pair that sort of looks like this but maybe not so huge:

I <3 nice cans!

I wear headphones at work all day, every day. These are the ones you need to order. Trust me. I've tried them all. 90% of the headphones out there are garbage. The pair I have now, I've had for six years. So they're excellent quality, and if you don't abuse them they last forever. I'm due to replace the original ear pads on them, but that's it. I'll probably just order a brand set of cans and kick my old ones down for use in the Audio Booth, since we need some more headphones here anyhow.

Yes, they're just a bit over your $50 budget, but not by much. And they're easily worth it.

Agreed on the Sony 7506's.

I just made up a number for that budget. I take good care of my stuff so I am willing to spend more money for things since I know it will last a long time.

I am a sound engineer and record producer with more than two decades in the music business, and I approve this comment. Dollar for dollar you really cannot do better than the 7506 for consumer/prosumer hi-fi use. And the bottom end will absolutely floor you, with no sacrifice at the top. Great all-around choice if your budget is less than $100.
