I've got the Koss KSC50s and a pair of SENNHEISER MX400s (MX500s without the volume control). For the price they are both very good headphones - many people say that the sennheiser's are unbeatable.

They both sound superb, but... I tend to use the mx400s over the Koss pair. I think that the Koss pair sound a little better (better bass , and a kind of 'warmer' sound), but they are just too heavy, and without a neckband they tend to flop a bit. I like headphones tight in, so i don't miss a note!

I don't know how easily available they are, but you might want to check out Koss portapros. Like the KSC50s, but with a neckband, and, apparantly, slightly better sound.

Anyway, what headphones you like best can be a personal thing... hope this helps some.

KSC35's are great ear clip style headphones, they're much lighter than the ksc50's. They use the same driver though, so they have the same level of quality, which is very high considering the price. Hard to find though since they don't make them anymore but try Koss' website or look around.

for the money, Grado labs sr60's can not be beat.
