Basic/mid fi headphone advice.

I do not like ear buds of any sort. Looking for good bang-for-the-buck over the ear headphones for previewing and researching music when I'm away from my system. This will be mostly through iTunes or other low res streaming. iPhone or laptop as source. Almost never for serious listening. I do not need noise cancelling. Not looking for BlueTooth units as BlueTooth never sounds good to me. Not sure if there are other wireless options but not a major need; wired is fine.

Would like to spend less than $100.

Is there such a thing? Thanks for any assistance.

The modern retros are ridiculously light and very comfortable. When I first unboxed them I said to myself, you have to be kidding me. They felt like a piece of crap headphone. No weight whatsoever.
The bass blows me away. If you don't want really heavy bass, then these may not be the cans for you. I'm only recommending these headphones to you because they are $24.99. Going by your post, you seem like sound quality isn't too important and you didn't want to spend a lot of money. Less than $100 I think.

Personally, going by your original post, I think you should have taken a chance on these at $24.99 because if your budget is $100 then in the grand scheme of things every headphone will be crap. Might as well save yourself a few bucks.

On second thought, screw the modern retros and screw all the other headphones you considered. I'm listening to my Focal Clears right now and you should just get yourself a pair. You only live once.
