Looking to spend around 80$ on headphones

[Shaum]

Will be using these a lot listening to music while playing poker and stuff. I think I want closed if that's what these are headphones what do you suggest I get?

HD497's are open headphones and they are great.Also look at Grado SR80 .

I kinda like these here are there any others like these for around this price? Also since newegg doesn't carry very many headphones i'm lost as to where to buy these from so what other site is good?

the HD-497's are great (im listening to it now)

but with $80. my vote HAS to go to the Sony V6. they are close and are better than the 497's in any way you can think of.

I have been very happy with my mdr-v6 sony's.

Go with the Sennheiser hd-280's... 3 year warranty and all of the parts are replaceable. The Sony Mdr series has comparable sound quality, but the headphones break easier and Sony doesn't offer the kind of coverage that Sennheiser does.

Another Sony vote. I've had my mdr-v6 for 15 years...terrific.

You can often find the Sennheiser headphones for a very good price on Amazon.com

I got my HD-280s for $60 after rebates. If you don't need them right away, it might be a good idea to wait until they're on sale if you decide to get them.

I use the SR80s - $20 beyond your proposed budget but worth every penny, imo.

the MDR-V6 are the same as the MDR-7506 except the 7506 uses a gold plated connector (and costs about $20 more), right?
also, V6 is NOT the same as the V600.
