Best Headphones under $100?
Posted on 9/8/16 at 8:51 pm
Posted on 9/8/16 at 8:51 pm
What's up everyone? I need some suggestions on what headphones I should buy. I keep buying headphones all the time that break for various reasons, so I need a good pair that I can use for a long time. I don't want to spend $200-300 on an expensive pair either, but I wouldn't mind spending up to $100 for one. Anybody have any good brand of headphones I should look at?

For 100 even you can get Grado Sr80s. Add 25, and you can get Sennheiser Momentum on ears. At 150-160 you can get Sennheiser HD598s or, for something different, Audio Technica ESW9s.
Lot's of good options around that price point.

Jabra is the best quality and sounding, not to mention, most comfortable headphones you can buy. Buy the cheapest pair of them you can afford if need be. You will thank me...

Haven't ever used a real pair of headphones from a real audio headphone maker I see.

I would go Philips SHP9500 over SR80's. Maybe the fit my melon head better, but I use to wear the SHP's more than my Grados, plus they have a detachable cable. Having said that, they have been replaced by X2's and others.
My one true love right now are the Fostex T50RP's with Shure HPAEC1540 pads. Very very comfortable cans, but they are harder to drive than all of the other ones. Need an amp for them to really shine.
OP -- hard to make a recommendation without also knowing where you will be using them. Open headphones like SHP and Grado's on a bus or in a cubical farm are not ideal as they don't block out all the sound. And active noise cancellation is

If you want earbuds, the Shure se215's are great and right at $100.

Why do I need expensive headphones?
I love to buy shite, but have always used these cheap earbuds designed to stay on your ear while running. I also use them on planes. If I am not running or on a plane I just use regular surround sound speakers in the living room or my bluetooth speaker outside or while travelling.
When are you guys using these fancy headphones?

I use headphones a fair amount in my office. My GF and I do a lot of work at night and weekends, so I use them then. Obviously in traveling. I use them in working out too.
I understand people who don't want to shell out hundreds for them, much less several pairs, but I get a lot of use out of mine. Plus, there is a pretty big sound difference. Even between cheap ear buds and the pretty moderately priced and not extraordinary ear buds I use (Bose Freestyles) there is a very noticeable difference.
I'm not an audiophile but I do appreciate being able to listen to good quality recordings. Mid range headphones are a cost-efficient way for me to do that.

For $100 you can greatly improve your listening experience--it makes a world of difference.

Grados sr 80 or 60.
Amazing detail at low levels.

1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones with In-line Microphone and Remote...$99.99 from Amazon.
LINK
I've owned just about every brand and type of headphones known to man and these headphones are unbelievable. I've compared the 1More against a $500.00 pair of Westone Clear AM Pro 30 Ambient Triple-Driver headphones a friend of mine has and I actually liked the 1More better; it actually has a mid-range and the $100.00 price tag doesn't kill you.

Ha, I clicked on this post as I literally have Grado SR80e on my head. Highly recommend, but I would suggest adding a FIIO DAC & Amp so whatever source it is coming from can get cleaned up.

What about closed for office use?

My go-to recommendation for this question is always:
Sennheiser HD-280PRO, or whatever new product name they have in that niche.
Comfortable, sound great, excellent passive external noise reduction.
