Best headphones under 30 bucks?

[mariok2006]

My Koss KSC-75 headphones broke

I have a MuVo TX FM, are there any headphones, preferably ear buds or the ones that clip on your ears, that have the same sound quality and provide decent base at the sub-$30 price level?

KSC75's are very nice for the money, people here seem to likeem a lot. There are also the Koss UR-20's if you want a bigger headphone. IMO Koss makes the best cheap headphones.

Yea, the KSC75 headphones were very nice...but the build quality is not as good as i had hoped for. But these days you get what you pay for.

I was hoping for ear buds or clip ons, but if the sound quality of cans are marginally better, i do not mind.

hmm... i am not one to speak in the way of earbuds, but i have heard cx300's are nice. Maybe the AKG K 24 P's as well?

I would imagine the Sportapros being a nice addition.

How do the sony fontopia head phones compare to the ones you guys listed?

Mail them to KOSS with $5.00 and they will send you a new pair.

Save your $30 and put it toward a CMOY amp.

koss probably takes it, although I really like my creative ep630s around that price point too.

Mmmm...

I would recommend the HD477. These cans don't get much love around here these days so yes, go with them, if you can find them for as low as 30$. I think they sound very likely to the KSC75, but better! I consider the KSC75 to be about 75% of the sound quality of the HD477. The HD477 is a little darker, tad more authoritative in the bass department. IMHO, these are great cans for the money! They are strange looking and plasticky, but are great budget cans! And Sennheiser is a great company

!

If you like IEMs, then the Creative EP-630 are a great pair of sub-$30 headphones. Nice sound and decent bass.

Check out the positive reviews on Amazon US and Amazon UK.
