Headphones - advice please!

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

Check the info at www.headwize.com. I like my PX 100s, although the bass
on the comparible Koss phones is more pronounced. They've got a very
good and balanced sound, and the case they come in is quite cool.
FedEx should have me a new pair of Grado R60s today, which are
supposed to be great for the price and fall into your range. The '50s
"sci-fi" styling's unique.

The Koss PortaPro are well regarded too.
