Good headphones for around 20 dollars?

johnnyham89 · 08-02-2008, 11:06 PM

Just trying to find some good budget headphones. What do yall recommend?

You can only get mediocre headphones for under $40. If you are only going to spend $20, it does not really matter which ones you get.

Some Phillips SHE-XXXX should be good.

It definitely matters which ones you get, there is still a fairly big difference between them te best sounding are the Koss KSC75, they're widely known as the best sounding cheap headphones, but they're clip-ons, and they're an open design, so they won't block any noise out. If you're gonna use them in a noisy environment, JVC Marshmallows or JVC Air-Cushions would be best.

JVC Marshmallow or JVC Gumy are pretty good.. i would recommend those under $20.

Sony Fonotopia ones are amazing...i got them on sale for $19.99...there regularly $29.99...they have good bass and sound...they even have a little bit of noise isolation!

Sennheiser HD-202s are some pretty respectable headphones for the price...that being 20 dollars

I dont know if you want noise canceling but skullcandy are really good i bought mine from target for 16 bucks and i saw some at best buy for 16 bucks. another thing is they stick in the ear really good

SkullCandy Smokin' Buds or the SkullCandy Hesh's
Those are amazing headphones. All for under $50.

Koss KSC-75 . 'Nuff said, look no further.

Yes, the gummy ones are really good...
And I don't reccomend getting really expensive ones, as they break just as fast as cheaper ones and don't sound THAT much better...

SomeDooD · 08-09-2008, 01:49 PM

JVC Marshmallow ones are the BEST for under $25.

deckardk · 08-18-2008, 04:27 PM

i am using the JVC Marshmallows as of now, and they're pretty good!
i've had lots of headphones in the past - the Koss Plugs were great sound isolators, and the Sony MDR's were sturdy earbuds. i was kinda sad when those sony's broke!

if you're planning to jog or something, i reccomend not buying the Marshmallows though (or any other earplug like headphone) because i always get headaches when i use them - the unequal pressure is annoying.

I really like these for cheap they look cool and they sound great. They have a lot of base if you want that. Also one of the best things it comes with the KOSS lifetime warranty.

Oh and I got mine at wallmart for 19.99 I think.
