Looking for $30 USD Headphones

I was considering the Superlux before. 

Sticking with over-the-ears if possible--so which would be the best out of the 3?

 

I'd vote for the JVC - the Sennheiser aint up to snuff with the other two, and the Superlux has some sharp treble which some people find unbearable.

My friend is looking for some cheap but versatile headphones for his Sony Xperia Sola and his computer. Over-the-ear's preferred but in-ears are fine as well. 

Any recommendations?

Definitely Superlux headphones although half of them are $40, not $30.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Oh yeah, I've seen pretty good reviews of those JVCs as well. They always slip my mind for whatever reason.

I have the Superlux 681 and they sound good for the price, should be a good pick up.

I was considering the Superlux before. 

Sticking with over-the-ears if possible--so which would be the best out of the 3?

I'd vote for the JVC - the Sennheiser aint up to snuff with the other two, and the Superlux has some sharp treble which some people find unbearable.
