Best headphones for under $80?
Hey audiophiles, I want a good set of cans that I can keep at work for listening to music. I don't want to cart 'em around back and forth, rather I'll just leave them in my desk. So, you can see, I want some decent ones, but not ones that are super expensive.

What's a good set for under or around $80?

Thanks!

In that price, I'd look at Sennheiser or Klipsch.

I know Grado is now making cans in this range, but I've not heard them yet, although I've never heard a Grado that I didn't love/lust.

Let us know how it goes!

I use the Grado Prestige Series SR60e's as my every day headphones and in my opinion you won't find better for the price range (I got mine for $80 on the nose, but I've seen them for more).

Re: Best headphones for under $80?
Woot! Hella answers guys, thanks.

K, so I'm down to Grado and Carbo Tenore. Consensus on this thread appears to be Grado. I'll see if I can find a local (Ebola-free lol) store to hear both, or at least one of these two brands.

Thanks again for the help!

cheers
