aeriyn Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hmmm... Let me see... Well, if you want to go low price (although I'd cap my limit at $50US if I were you) I'd suggest either the Sony MDR-EX71SL (in-ear phones) which cost about $40-$50 US. Better than those would be the Sharp HP-MD33S, which sound a lot better than the EX71s (they don't have suppressed mids) but they are 4-pole when used as short-cord, so you can't use them with anything but Sharp units, unless you have the extension on, which switches them back over to 3-pole making them useful on any audio player. Audiocubes carries these for $39US. If you're not into earbuds, things get a little more expensive, and others would be better at recommending them than I am since I only use in-ear earphones (regular 'phones mess up my hair). :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sony_man Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 if you're a bass person too the MDR-EX71SL is good for that. i have the lower model thats about 10-15 bucks cheaper and the quality is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgeen4242 Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, I am not an audiophile type, I have fairly poor hearing, etc etc. That said, I have been really satisfied with my Koss UR20's. They are a full over the ear headphones and do a decent job of blocking out enviromental sound. The sound reproduction is good, to my limited hearing, and they are about $20. As a side note, I read that the later versions of this series went to some cheaper components, and weren't as nice, until you get into the more expensive versions. I can't say anything about that one way or the other as I haven't used them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
