I just found out today it's pretty tough finding some decent headphones for 25 USD.  Would any of you guys be able to help me out with this?  Oh an the catch is that it can only be on amazon lol

believe it or not, I use these as my daily drivers. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-101LP-Headphones-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00000JCTD/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1440978929&sr=8-7&keywords=mdr101

 

they sound great and (were) cheap. you can sometimes find them on ebay. maybe buy an ebay gift card from amazon?

yea, 25 is pretty low... bump it up to 50 and you have some decent options.

I have replaced the foam with some furry fabric and I have replaced the cord with a PS/2 wire with a 4 pole jack on the end and put a wire through the top of the headphones so there wasnt a cord on both sides. I use it for my tablet mainly because of the button I added that works with a 4 pole headphones jack. The fabric is starting to come off, but I am surprised that the tiny dots of hot glue have held on for over four years since I put the fabric on.

There are good options around $25 if you look for them.

No problem. If you are trying to choose b/t them let me know. I own the HTF 600S and KSC 75s, I have tried the 668B.

 

The Superlux series would be the best built among them... probably the most detailed as well. Neutral sounding, slightly bright. Panasonics if you're looking for a darker bassy headpone that is lively and fun to listen to. Koss if you want bright headphones that do everything right for $12 (KSC 75s) or get tired of having a headband on your head.
