Well I use these and they're good: http://www.zzounds.com/item--MDOSFQ40

But $50 above your range.

Heard good stuff about the Audio Technica ones.

Dude, get the ATH m50's. Insanely sweet headphones

Got a pair of refurbished Audio-Technica ATH-M40 Studios a couple of weeks ago for $40. Money well spent.

I own both the Sennheiser 280's and the HD205's. I particulary like the sound of the 205's better, but boy are they tight on your head. More than half and hour with those on and your ears will really start to hurt. They are both great for monitoring, but I wouldn't even attempt to mix out of either.

 

[Brender500]

hmm... maybe i just have stated this:i plan on using these to mix also.

The only cheap cans worth a dime I've heard are the ATH-M50s. Seem distinctly above their class.

 

[Brender500]

how much different are the ATH-M40 compared to the M50?

 

[JoergieN]

Dude, just get the ATH m50's and call it a day. Thank me later

ATH m40s +/- $60

ATH m50 +/- $150

$150??? false. You can get them at several places on the internet for $115 and that includes the shipping.

Not anymore, they are $150 standard around for REAL ones. There are certainly fakes (I see a lot of ebay) for around $115.

 

[JoergieN]

Oh fuck you're right. Damn, glad I bought those babies a months ago

 

[Brender500]

i decided to go with the ATH-M50,And guess what,I got them for 89$ brand new from musicians friend

^ How? They're 159.00$ online. :/

Deets! I need to order a pair soon, too.

 

[Brender500]

they have a guarantee that they will beat any price and i found them for $98:98 over on titanpeak.com so i just called the costumer service number and they matched the price and they also take 10% off when they beat a price so i got them for 89$ and now i am super happy i saved so much money!

 

[CAlexanderParra]

They were $89ish on ebay when I bought mine. Not anymore though, but still for $159 they are totally worth it!

Edit: Oh that's awesome that they'll match the price.

Purchasing real soon, thanks man!
