POLL: which sennheiser headphones under $50 should I buy at buy.com?

[Lifer]

buy.com seems to have the best selection of sennheiser's and free shipping (over $25 and under 20 lbs promo).
sennheiser's at buy.com

i'm limited to under $50 and I already have the 497's.
oh yeah, uses will be for gaming, music and dvd's, all on the computer.

where are the headphone gurus at?

bigger the number the better?

I'd try spending a bit more and get the 497's. I don't really trust the other ones all that much.

From the ones on the list... I guess the HD-212 Pros.... But I'd get the 497's...

whoops, sorry, the 212's are over the $50 limit
just removed it from the poll.

i guess what i'm trying to go for is the best bang for the buck, since I already have good ones in the HD497's... meaning i can pick up the 202's for $25 or 477's for $50. will i notice the difference other than the extra $25 in my pocket?

If you have the HD497s why would you want one of these? the 497s are better.

I wouldn't buy any Sennheiser, I had a set, and I didn't like them.. exchanged for a set of SONY's and much happier.

What kind of Sony's? Sony's headphones can be very hit and miss.

Oh. Uh... I dunno if I trust any of those. Maybe the PX200s mentioned in the next post... If you don't want full-sized headphones, I'd get the Koss KSC-35... best deal in audio.

If you're looking for a good portable set, I recommend these. I bought a pair to go along with my mp3 CD player and they sound good and come with a stury plastic carrying case.

Or the KSC-50, same driver, slightly different. Sounds a little worse than the 35s, but they're the best headphones for under $15 and for portable use. Wide open though. If you're looking for some more isolation, I'd say look at a pair of closed phones. I can't recall which one of the ones you listed is closed though. I'm pretty sure theirs one in there.

EDIT: the 202s are closed.
