Best headphones at approximately $20

I've owned these headphones for a couple years now. This Christmas I'm upgrading to some Sennheiser HD 212 Pro headphones, and to say the least, I'm VERY reluctant to give up these cans. I really don't feel any incentive to upgrade other than knowing...

Crisp highs Powerful, clear lows Good mid Comfortable Long chord

For $20 there are no cons on these seemingly perfect cheap headphones

Can't beat these headphones

As an ex-gamer (although I still play a bit, just not so much) I would frequently sport these headphones at LAN parties, and would often try on my friends' headphones just to see the difference. Several pairs of 'phones I tried on were $60 or more and...

Long, gold-plated cable. Comfortable earcups, and great sound quality

cable may wear after a while. Maybe b/c I was too rough with it though

Affordable quality head phones

This mighty head phone from Labtec packs a punch for a pretty low price. Designed specially for accurate bass reproduction, it delivers pretty well. It managed to reproduce sound accurately even when the volume was cranked up high.

Good bass, price, long tangle-free cable, self-adjusting padded headband

Slips of easily, slightly on the bulky side

Great

I've had these a little under a year and all I can say about them is that they've worked great. These headphones have excelent bass feedback (alot better than a pair of Sony and Panosonic studio headphones I've had in the past) and handle the highs...

(3.5 stars) Good for the Price

Headphones are a kind of annoying investment. There are some out there that cost around 10 bucks or less, and look nice, but you don't know if they'll sound like junk, then there are others that promise noise cancellation, then there are others that...

Crap.

You know why these headphones are so cheap to buy? I'll give you one guess. Yup, it's because they ARE cheap. I bought a pair through an Amazon Seller and within a few weeks of using them, only one side works now. Pay more money and get a better pair....

Best 20 bucks I've spent in my life. Without a doubt.

I'm really picky when it comes to sound quality. I look at people listening with cheap Sony headphones, and I can do nothing but cringe. THAT ISN'T HOW MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND!!!

20, unbelievable sound quality for sub-50 dollars, comfortable for hours

Bass is weak, but with a boost (which basically everything has) is superb

Crystal Clear Sound !

Well I am not a Audio Engineer but my own ears are my best judge. I was ready to shell out $100 for a decent head phones and I tried Maxell,Aiwa,Panasonic,Sony(Mdr V150,V300) and Sennheiser and also the Titanium diaphragm one of Radio shack. I also...
