Best sub $100 headphones? (techno, bass, hip-hop, jazz, rock)

Talk about an upgrade... I didn't realize 280's were so much bigger. I'm loving them

I wondered why the bass sounded soo flat.. I went into my HD audio manager and put headphones and output both to bass.. sounds sooo clean and powerful.

Sennheiser PXC-150 Portable Noiseguard Headphones - in stock at Sound and Vision

What do you think about these for some portable ones? That's about as far as my budget will go i'm guessing, as gorgeous as the PXC-250 look.

I have a friend who has them and she says they are awesome. Noise cancelling is superb. Have you tried here:

Richer Sounds Headphones/Microphones Products

The PX200 are as good and half the price.

If thats more bassy then i may give them a go, though i found the others for £45 on ebay, tempting...

For the extra fiver go ebay as long as you can get a return if need be.

2 year warranty and the money goes to a children's cancer charity, seems too good to be true!

Go for it Luke. Everyone's a winner.

Just curious is 80 pounds alot in UK. Looking @ those headphones for 80 pounds it doesnt look like you're getting alot.

Yeah you guys might be better off ordering from america with the exchange rate. I look @ sennheiser 280's on that site and it says 99 pounds, in america they are 99 dollars. The exchange rate right now is 1 - .6 so the 99 dollar headphones in america only cost 66 pounds if you use the exchange rate. Not sure how much shipping and/or export taxes cost. It would def be something i'd consider

Anything over $18 is subject to import tax. Just another excuse for our government to screw us over.
