Poll: Help me choose budget headphones

[kritzer]

I'd like to use headphones for making music on my laptop. I'd be using them with my Firewire 410 probably and just need something comfortable and not too bassy.

These are the options I've come up with

Sennheiser HD 497
Grado SR 60
Sennheiser EH 250
AKG-M40fs
Sennheiser EH 2270/2200

Get the Grados.

Ended up with Sennheiser HD201's

I ended up with Sennheiser HD201's. They are very comfortable. In fact, I'm wearing them right now.

Paid $27 shipped from newegg.com and they got here in 3 days.

Cord is very long and I couldnt ask for more isolation for this price.

I highly recommend them if you're looking for a cheap but decent sounding pair of headphones.

For a little bit more than the Grado SR-60s you can get the Sennheiser HD-280 Pro which is an excellent headphone for recording. It has a very neutral tonal balance and also blocks out outside sound (and keeps in sound when overdubbinbg vocals) very well. The Grados are very colored and uncomfortable and the HD-280s sound better than the open-air HD-580s and the Beyerdynamic DT-770s which I used to own but sold. To get better sounding 'phones IMHO you have to be looking in that $250+ category.

I use Sony MDR-V150s, $20 at Wal*Mart.

I have 3 sets also.
Great headphones for the price.
