Need a set to leave @ home when I travel for my SO as she ran over the pair I had gottne her with the vac. and ripped the cord. Any suggestions?

She listens to mp3's alot and when I'm home I have a nice pair but she needs a pair for herself which im not throwing 100 bucks out on again. Anything you know let me know so hopefully i can save a few ducks.. ..

If you can wait a couple of days Amazon has a great deal on a pair of Sennheiser HD497s ($37). See here. Courtesy of the HD forum.

Could probably score a Grado SR60 for around $50. Open-style headphones though, so traveling with them might be a bit noisy for outsiders.

Sony MDR-81's. If you are looking for canal-phones those are the way to go for under $50. I have the 51's and they are decent but the 81's are supposed to be awesome. Google them and read the reviews. Both are VERY good and sound isolation so keep that in mind. I have to keep the volume really low on mine when I am at work or I can't hear my phone which is less than 2 feet away
