best headphones


Hey guys, I'm new to the audiogon community! I'm trying to find good headphones for bopping around town, going on the train-- ones that have great sound quality but aren't fragile. I would like to spend under $200. I also want there to be a great low end without it being muddy. I've been looking at a couple models including, Grado--though I don't know what series yet, Fostex TH-7B (but reviews of that say the bass frequencies aren't very prevalent so this is not high on my list), AKG, and V- Moda. I'm wondering if any of you can lead me to a great pair of headphones! Thanks

Second the vote for Sennheiser PX 200II phones for the purpose you indicated. I also have much more expensive Sennheisers for stationary listening, but for walking, trains, etc., you cannot beat the PX's for anything near their price. Sturdy, compact and neutral. A real revelation.

If you want in-ear (which I favor), Etymotic is the way to go. On my 4th pair as I move up the ladder to the top.
