AIWA is the best. You can get one with an equalizer for about 45 bucks. or you can get what I have. I paid 3.49 for a simple set and they are GREAT! an AIWA HP-JB211
i have bose headphones, since i travel alot for high school. The Quiet Comfort are really gets the noise out and doesnt pressure your ears like other ones.
However, my sister gets a good kick out of her Sennheiser HD 280's. I listened to them once, sounds like listening to B+W Nautilus in my room!
The Sennheiser goes to a better richness in volume by my perspective. I recommend it. I'll probably jack it off my sister sometime.
I've had the V700DJs for almost two years and they are by far the best headphones I've ever owned. a little pricey at $150, but hey, my girl bought em for my bday!!!
Tiger, tiger, burning bright,
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
