Looking for some good quality Headphones - Blu-ray Forum

Kinslayer · 05-17-2009, 08:22 PM

I am looking to spent about 50-100 $ Canadian on a good pair of over the head, headhpones. I don't want anything huge but its fine if they cover the ears, just nothing that's really heavy.

You guys have any suggestions?

Grado SR60's...a little more than $100 though, but well worth it.

Thanks, any other suggestions? Those are a bit out of my price range. I hear Sennheiser are a good brand to get as well.

Look at the Grado Labs iGrado. Can be had for about $60 CDN.

Try looking at AKG or perhaps even Denon.
I've always had AKG headphones and swear by them.

I got the Igrado and wow, best sounding headphones I've heard yet. The Sr 60i or 80i were a bit too pricy and kinda big too. The only problem I have with the igrado is that its kinda tight on my head but I am trying to stretch them out to make them more comfortable so if you have big head don't get them lol.
