You could also look at the HD580's or hd590 (not as laid back as the 580/600) as they sale for sub-100 in the used market, or just look on over at headfi.org lots of good stuff there.
I think I need a pair of headphones
My wife has been suggesting that I get a pair of headphones. I’m sure that there is an underlying message there, but that’s another story. At least with a pair of cans I’ll be able to enjoy my system a couple more hours each week.
I can’t afford what I would really like – a pair of Sennheiser HD-600s and a good headphone amp. I’ve already had to dip into my amp/preamp upgrade fund to cover some other expenses. :-(
Therefore, I have to limit myself to the market consisting of (new) sub-$100 headphones.
I did take a look at the archives and it appears that my best bet will be a pair of Grado SR-60s or SR-80s. I’ll be running my headphones straight out of my Rotel integrated. My music tastes run toward rock and R&B, but I know that in my price range that probably doesn’t matter. Aside from Grado, any other make/model suggestions would be appreciated.
(I’m going to take a look at headfi.org and headwise.com as well)
Thanks.
