well, today i got some earbud headphones that i won last week. they're Sennheiser MX400s that retail for $14.99. i didn't quite get 'em for a steal, but with shipping, they cost me less than $7.
there's something about the sound of Sennheisers. they create a rich and bassy sound that is usually devoid in Sonys, et al. sure, i have an old, trusty pair of fontopias (Sony earbuds) that have lasted me for probably ten years, but they are a bit tinny. even though i've bought Sennheiser products for twenty years now, it's always nice to get more ;)
never heard of 'em? well, it's a german company that has been making headphones for at least 70 years. they're known for the classic and funky looking HD414's that they started making in the early 30's. and now, their line consists of affordable portable headphones ranging in the $10-$20 range to electrostatic headphones going for $15,000. yeah, you read that right...fifteen grand. would you like this car or a pair of headphones?
of course, those electrostatic headphones are custom made for the audiophile maniac with way too much money. there are some HD650's though, that can be had for a mere $500. here's a pic:
i don't think so. however, i wouldn't mind the HD580's, they only cost $200...
or some HD265's for a measly $160...
gotta look for some better prices you know where...
