What are some affordable around-the-ear headphones?

Recommend affordable headphones?

  • My dog broke my old cheap headphones so now I want to get new ones. I'm willing to pay up to 30 dollars-ish. They need to be headphones, not earphones. I want them to be "over the ear," also known as "closed back" headphones. I like this type because they block out exterior sounds and don't leak out whatever I'm listening to (note that a lot of times I use headphones to avoid having to hear people argue, so this is important). Noise cancelling or whatever it's called isn't needed. Not preferred if it's going to make them more expensive. Obviously nothing with really poor sound quality, but for 30 dollars or less I'm not expecting anything mindblowing. I also would like these headphones to be fairly lightweight/fashionable. I don't like headphones that are heavy or cumbersome. My old headphones were actually rather thin.

  • Answer:

    If you are looking for earphones for the iPod or iTouch I can highly recommend Shure SE310's or Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro's. Both are excellent earphones for the money.
