I have the Sony MDR-D66's and they are great headphones, but sometimes it would be more convenient to have some cheap headphones. There are so many different models of the behind the head headphones, I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for which one's are the best. Thanks!!!

P.S. I dont want to spend much money (like less than $30)

Ah, that's easy: Koss KSC 55's, IMHO...

Check my post in this thread out...

These are behind the neck. Sennheiser also makes a pair (pmx60) of behind the neck phones that are popular; some prefer the Koss's, others the Senn's; at headfi the Koss's seem to be more poplular than the Senn's, so I went with them. You can get the Koss's for $20.00 including shipping online; you may be able to find them cheaper in a store such as Circuit City.

I have Sony MDR-G52's they're a couple years old so they probly have a new model number now, but I wouldn't trade them for anything I love 'em. I think they were like 40-50 bucks when i got them though

Check out my post. I have both--the Koss's blow the MDR-G52's away, and are cheaper. The frequency response is better on the Koss, the sensitivity is better on the Sony's, but the bottom line is the Koss sound much, much better...
