Cheap headphones: What should I get?

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 :)

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.

i'd go with akg-k240's.

ol'skool but sound great.

or get 241 or 271 is you feel like saving up a lil bit

$60?!?!?! Ouch thats gonna be hard...

they say definitely the grado 60s for under 100$ range

ive heard good things about these

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!

I have the grado sr60's and they do indeed sound awesome, so much better then almost everything else in there price range, but they are not so good for making/mixing music, more for listening.

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.

ATH-D40fs

Buy the similar ATH-M40fs if you're interested in greater accuracy.

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).
