Agreed.
And depending on what kind you buy, there are different recommendations:
Over Ear: Audio Technica ATH-M40x
In Ear: MEE audio M6 Pro
The reason why I recommend these two sets are for the same reason: their tuned in a neutral fashion instead of being bass heavy (like the Sennheiser Momentums or the ATH-M50x), which means you're hearing the music the way it was recorded, not with the low tones expanded upon while the rest of the audio suffers.
The ATH-M40x is, IMHO, the best over-ear headset you can buy for below 100 dollars, and don't need any kind of AMP to boost their capabilities (they're around 35 ohm resistance). And, if you like buying other sets of ear cups for your headphones, anything that works for the ATH-M50x will work on the ATH-M40x.
On the other hand, the Pro 6 earbuds are fairly consistent in their review as being excellently tuned earbuds that come with a lot of extras in the $50 purchase. Multiple sets of cords to interchange (one w/ a mic (for use with your cell phone), one without), carrying case, multple sets of earpieces (including a set of Comply foam buds (which are awesome)). It's a nice package. Also, I know several people who have bought them who stopped using more expensive earbuds because they thought that these sounded better.
