I'm looking to buy a new pair of headphones, but I don't know crap about headphone quality. I've heard Sennheisers are good stuff. From everything I can tell, this is a good pair for the price. For a budget of 50 bucks, should I get these? Are there some others that I should look at that would be better?

Also, I have looked at these others.

Cheaper, but I don't know how they compare.

More expensive = More quality???

All help would equal appreciation and better music from me!

HD280 PRO's look like the best bang-for-buck

i've had a pair of HD280's that i've been using for around 10 years now
love em to death.  they held up to countless DJ gigs and they seem to be holding up well to my toddler playing with them :0

Are the HD280's really worth paying an additional 50 bucks? I'm a tightwad who would be perfectly content in living in a hole and eating ramen noodles for the rest of his life (that may be a bit of an exaggeration. Serious time, though). I try to save money as best as I can, and though I could afford the HD280's, should I  buy them over the others?

yeh mang .. get the PRO's  (not the Silver or -13's)

High impedance and kickass frequency response 8Hz - 25KHz. They set the benchmark for the price range and outperform a lot more expensive brands.

Cheaper on eBay if you're on a budget.

edit: Headphones are like a good Display IMO ... you can replace all your kit but a decent display/headphones will last you through many computers/systems/upgrades. Worth the investment.
