springymajig Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Less than $100 (New Zealand, which is about $60 US at the moment). Don't have to give specific model numbers... brand names/technical jargon to look out for would be greatly appreciated. I know I won't get the best sound in the world with that kinda budget so that's not what I'm after, just something decent. Thanks :) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide springymajig's signature Hide all signatures My music: Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/39750-cheap-headphones-what-should-i-get/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
beneboi Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 i have stuck to the sony mdr-v6 for years, they are like 70-80 bucks (us) new and i feel they offer pretty accurate headphone monitoring for such a cheap price.

springymajig Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Thanks guys acid1: thanks for the link, I'm not really after something super good, I just don't really have anything at the moment, so average would be better than nothing!

springymajig Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I looked up the pair I was using in the last coupla years (which I got given to me as a present, unfortunately I broke the head band thingy). They are in my price bracket... and they were sweet as for what I want so I'm sure I'll be ok with some of the suggestions made here. I will eventually save up for proper ones for making music but my current job is only temporary so I'd rather get something cheap for now.

Dementia Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 ATH-D40fs http://forum.watmm.com/index.php?act=findpost&pid=859763 Buy the similar ATH-M40fs if you're interested in greater accuracy.

springymajig Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Sweet, the (broken) ones I have now are Audio Technica... I wasn't sure if it was a reliable brand (I don't see it as often as I see Seinhiesser or however you spell it and stuff like that).
