Headphone questions

[gear02]

Hey guys, thanks for answering all my questions I've had these days. I have one more.

I want to get a pair of headphones. They will be primarily used playing games and listening to MP3s at a desktop computer. I'm looking for something under $50 but I'm willing to go over that for something extraordinary (like maybe Klispch-type headphones).

What's the best headphones?

For that price range I can only recommend one set of cans. The Grado SR-60's. They costs around $65 or so, but are worth every single dime and some.

I agree. The Grados sound exceptional for the money.

Heres a great, knowledgeable store with reliable service to get a good pair of headphones. I got a pair of closed headphones from them, but the Grados are probably your best bet.

I'd like to say here that wearing earphones for just 1 hour increases the bacteria in the human ear up to 700 times the normal ammount. Yes, that's 700 TIMES, not just 700%.

Jezz, that must mean I have like 2100 times the normal amount every day I go to work. No ear infections yet folks!
