"Cheap" headphones for in the studio

[GeertSamuel]

Currently I give my headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 770) to the drummer.
The biggest thing I dislike about this is that as soon as I put it on the next it's all sticky from his sweat and hair gel. What also worries me is the volume they want me to turn the headphones up to.

So from now on I would like to have 3 or 4 affordable (cheap) headphones that will work in the live room for the musicians. Do you have any clues?

I need to by atleast 2 or 3, so I would really like to keep the costs down as soon as I can since they always treat the headphones like shit and want the volume up way to loud.

Any advice?

I would first recommend them to not wear hair gel so they don't ruin your headphones. Second of all I would look for headphones that are very isolated, not so much loud. If you have headphones with great isolation than you won't have to crank it up. With that in mind as far as cheap I always see these recommended

Haven't used them myself though

The Beyerdynamics are VERY isolatied! I use them live as my monitoring, that's why I'm pretty much surprised on their volume request.
I always ask them to not wear any hair gel if they want to use my headphones, but most of them ignore my request.

If you're looking for something cheap yet good, try these: http://www.thomann.de/nl/the_tbone_hd990d.htm
I bought em for the same purpose and they work pretty well.

I bought a pair to try out. The isolation is about as good as my Sennheiser HD280's. If you suck out a bit of the low mids and lows with a touch of EQ, they actually sound pretty good.

I plan on buying a full set.
