"The little white ear buds that come with your iPhone or your iPod may work just fine but they provide tinny, compressed sound. If you want to take advantage of the high quality components inside your iPhone, iPod or other MP3 player, it is a good idea to invest in a good pair of headphones. If you have $100 to spare, you will find many great choices. Below are my top 10 picks for headphones under $100."
I have two of the 10 listed, the Sennheiser HD 280 PRO and Sony MDR-V6, but I bought them years ago when they were NOT sub $100. Those two sound great, and pretty much anything by Sennheiser is guaranteed to please.
I have a lot of the head phones that are on the list
my favorites are the grado sr 60's just because it was like a walking speaker on my head and it got a lot of peoples attention,
the Sony MDR-XB500 were nice but I didn't like the feel on my head the pads felt weird. the Sennheiser's were nice but too big on my head the cup size annoyed me on some of them.
I do want to try the koss porta pro's out though.
Sennheiser HD 280 Pro price has gone down, ahhh.. wish I haven't bought another one last week.
you are lucky, that atleast u have it.. I dont have these headphones and want them badly :(
