I got a pair of decent Koss titanium studio headphones (PRO4AA) a couple of years back. They're comfortable as they can be, have a detachable 1/4" stereo plug that screws into a 1/8" headphone jack, great lows and clear highs, and actually look halfway decent, too. They were about $169 retail when I bought them, but that was a few years ago and you can probably pick some up now for under $100. Mine have been used and abused, but they still sound terrific. I've actually got a pair of super expensive AKG headphones (K601 model) that have never even been taken out of the box... simply because I love the Koss so much. I use them in my Mackie ONYX1220 (studio mixer) and then unplug the 1/4" jack and take them with me to listen to on my iPod. And I'll probably keep wearing them until they quit making sound.
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . Is it worth spending $90 for headphones? I want to upgrade my stock "ipod headphones," but I don't know if I should buy a really good headphone, or sacrifice some quality and get a cheaper one.
