I NEED HEADPHONES....NOW

Hi Martice; I can strongly recommend the Sennheiser 580s or 600s. Both are very smooth, relaxing and comfortable for long term listening. The 600s are more detailed than the 580s and are my preference. Both should be available within your budget. Cheers. Craig.

I didnt know you could get Stax headphones in that price range. The Sennheiser 600's Craig recommends are fine and are selling in the low $300's, but there was an Audiogon classified in the last day or two at $275. The Grado SR 225's and SR125's (only about $150) are well within your budget and very good.

Look at the etymotics...They are not for everyone but I have yet to get anything but an unqualified "Oh my God" from anyone who has listened to mine. They are unrivaled for traveling as well due to their isolation. They are especially good for Jazz with a special emphasis on vocals. They fit in your ear like a hearing aid and they can be customized for comfort by your local hearing aid shop. I paid $225 for mine. Check out www.headwize.com for more info on headphones and such.
