Hey all, I was looking to get a new pair of headphones for Christmas, but I couldn't find the pair that I wanted in stores (Grado SR60E's) and was about to order a pair knowing that they wouldent get here in time, to find that they were Out of Stock  so now I'm looking to find a pair to order sometime soon under $80 and thought I'd ask mall of you. Over ear prefered, no mic, open or closed doesent matter.

 

Thanks,

EDIT: No audio Technica please

Does your question seem like it means anything? Because last I checked, HeadFi is fairly well regarded amongst the audiophile community. Case and point.

You don't spend a lot of time around here, do you.

It actually isn't. If you go to head-fi, you need a whole shit ton of salt. I only go there for the for sale forum and maybe a few mods.

As far as I can tell, there's no banner saying "we hate Head-Fi"

If you're not sure what you're talking about, just stop talking.

It probably wouldn't be allowed by LTT staff. Good idea for my siggy though, thanks.
