They can easily point you to the absolute best options. They even have extensive, current buyers guides ready for you. THE site for all things headphones. Nothing else is even in the running.

Thanks In Advance. https://crystalbreak.com/best-headphones-under-100/ Consultations are hard to get because of a person's personal time, especially if they're very knowledgeable from working in the business. On the other hand, diving into a site that sells product through their many advertisers is an easy way to get sold 10 different things that don't meet your needs. A good way to start is to find out what you need, what you're comfortable with physically, what you're going to use as a music source, what kind of music you like, where you will play that music, and what things you will be doing while listening to that music. If you know those things now, I could give you some tips. EDIT: I read the article at your link, and while those headphones are very well known, they sound radically different from each other, as well as being very different physically. That's why you need to sort out the factors I mentioned. buonassi and esldude 2 Link to comment
firedog Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Yep. First sort out if you want in ear, on ear, or over ear. Or even wireless. With headphones form factor and comfort are probably more important than absolute sound quality. Because with two pretty good sounding headphones, you will be much happier with a pair that match your needs/preferences in terms of form factor and comfort. Without those two aspects, you probably won't be happy with any HP you choose, no matter how good it sounds. That narrows your choices way down and you can start to get recommendations just of the main type you've chosen. Reading about those will probably give you an idea of how each one sounds, and you can narrow to 2-4 candidates. Depending on where you live, you may be able to audition a few of the final list at a store. esldude 1 Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment
davide256 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 The problem with Grado SR60's/80's is that they wear out under regular use after about 2 years. Been through about 4 pairs in the last 10 years, three were the headphone cable broke so that 1 side went out, a 4th where the driver just seemed to deteriorate in sound compared to others in the house. They are a good bargain for sound but not rugged enough for an "on the go" headphone. If durability is important the Koss Porta Pro's held up best among headphones I've owned for under $100 and had a decent sound https://www.amazon.com/Koss-PortaPro-Headphones-with-Case/dp/B00001P4ZH christopher3393 1 Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment

Earphonefreak Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I am not sure if these options are available in your country. But here's what I would suggest - http://www.basstep.com/best-bass-earphones-buy/ Some of the best bass Earphones to buy: 1. Jays a-Jays T00073 Two Heavy Bass Earphone 2. Dolby sound Ubon Bomb Series 3. Sennheiser CX 180 Source Link to comment
mrpetemd Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I've owned a couple of pair Koss Porta-Pros and they are great for the price. Definitely two-dimensional sound stage and they are open-back so outside sounds get in. The thin foam ear pads wear out quickly but some online vendors will toss in an extra pair gratis when you buy from them. Biggest caveat is the VERY thin speaker wires which can break too easily. Check out https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-koss-porta-pro-x-headphones. Although the "drop" has ended this is an "upgraded" Porta-Pro that addresses the cable issue plus other "enhancements". Unfortunately this version is not available through Koss directly. Also try their KSC 35 & 75; same drivers as the Porta-Pro in an earclip design. Arthur E. Petersen, Jr. Link to comment
