Sorry, but I can't decide what to do about headphones.

Here's the deal. Mine pretty much suck, so i want some new, better ones. I'm not sure how much i want to pay, but i would definitely prefer to pay les than $50 if possible. I want a pair of headphones that will give me quality sounds from a portable CD player that i can take around with me around school or wherever, so I probably don't want something incredibly bulky. So do you guys think you can help me out?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hmm... i'm not sure those are what i'm exactly after... are they really that good? They don't really look up to much

I use MDR-W08, works fine with my hardtrance addiction which produces some heavy bassline and massive sounds... pretty cheap too

Hrmm... I cant find the MDR-W08's anywhere. when i do a google search I got like 35 results, they're not for sale anywhere (nor have I found a picture). Are they not in production anymore?

Okay, i think i found them at bestbuy.com

They don't look up to much... are they really worth it (Even if they are only $10)?

from my experiences anything less then 20 bucks is complete crap...if ur budget is 50 bucks get the sony ex70's.

they are supposedly the best sounding cans in your price range...ive treid them at a buddys house and they arent bad. its quite a difficult budget to work on sorry. i hear that aiwa is coming out with new earbuds, the VX100s, thatll beat both (my) e888s and the mx500s. sorry that i couldnt be of much help to ya

btw try www.audiocubes.com

The Sony MDR-V6 (not v600), when I bought it, was $57 US... it may be less price right now.
www.etronics.com has them for $59 (where I bought from). You can also do a price check on shopping.yahoo.com and search for Sony V6.

These are really great headphones, anyone that has tried them on these boards will most likely agree with me, they are a HUGE bargain considering the sound quality you get for the price.

If you need more information, or are looking for different headphones, you have 2 highly recommended options
1) Send a PM to the user Gluegun on these forums, he is a headphone conaseur, he is the knower of all things headphone!
2) Head over to www.head-fi.org it is a website/forum based on headphones, you will get lots of help here, they are friendly and informative folks.

Hope that helps you.
