"Best Headphones under $100" Thread

[juli_]

Just like the cx 300 you will be buying an ear wax magnet. There is no way to clean the filter grill. Once clogged you can toss the phones. This will happen despite rigorous qtip jousting.

That's not good news. I don't have those headphones, but the ones I do have also have a no-clean filter grill.

How long does it take to clog?? I'm trying to be careful with mine and never put them in my pocket or leave them lying around.

I did pierce them gently the other day - very very gently. . . but it's not a great method of de-fluffing!

So, in essence - non-cleaning filters belong to essentially 'disposable' headphones????

Ear-clip style headphones:I use the MDR-Q38LW from Sony.

Retractable headphone plug cord, light and easy to wear.

I recently got myself the EX85 for $90.

Were $150 in Australia originally.

Comes wth a nice fabric draw-string pouch and earphone holder (larger than the holder supplied with the EX32LP).

SQ-amazingly clear and distortion free, has nicely perfected sound across various frequencies and I love thw studio monitor quality.
