I have both the AKG K240 ($100.00) and the AKG K55 ($30.00) and the only sonic differences are:

1) K55 are a little tighter in the bass

2) K240 are more articulate in the highest highs

That's it.

Check out the MoreMe headphones that Harvey Gerst is selling for $20. http://www.itrstudio.com/moreme.html

I bought 4 of the "more me" phones a week ago, and for the money I don't think you can beat them. Their return policy is second to none too. You should check them out.

we have an extra "sealed" pair of KOSS TD 80's--http://http://www.headphones.com/headphones/home_and_office/koss_td80.html...just about the price you need----ready for shipping--just contact us

I read a review somewhere (can't remember where) on the cheap Behringer headphones. Apparently the HPS3000 which is designed for studio reference are garbage but the HPX2000 which is geared for DJs is great. Both are ~$20.

Don't buy behringer HPM1000. They sound bad.
