Hi Everyone,

 

I was just wondering what are some good over or on ear headphones for under $300. Slightly noise isolating would be nice as I am riding the bus, walking in busy streets (dont worry Im not stupid), ect.

 

Momentums any good? what about AT M50's?

 

Anything you can recommend? Thanks Very much.

who's going to lug around a $1000+ headphones?

plus, look at OP's post again

I was recommending any one of the three... I don't expect someone to carry around 3+ pairs of headphones.

 

If you meant pricing, all of the headphones are under $160 each.

which one of those is $1000? combined they're not going to hit $1000 total.

 

Vmoda is my go to portable recommendation. rugged design they come with hard shell carrying cases and the m100 folds up into a small form factor. 

 

personal portables: I used to use the ath m50 as my portable but since have switched to the ath-ws55 because it is lighter lays down to fit in my drawer better

Panasonic RP-HTF600-S Stereo Headphones or Monoprice 108323 Premium Hi-Fi DJ Style Over-the-Ear Pro Headphone. Both are under $50. Not exactly portable but they are lightweight for closed and over the head, headphones.

Enjoy those tacos now, for in 1000 years they will be illegal... eh Ha Ha Ha! I think we all know why.

with a budget that high, i'd look into sennheiser HD25-1 II, the new 26 series, amperior, or momentum.

and beyerdynamic has their dt1350.

Will work for electronic components and parts

for on the go headphones you really shouldn't spend too much money because you are going to be limited by the audio quality of the device which i suspect is a phone or ipod. For that reason i would purchase the sennheiser 449 that are only $100 on amazon and have some ambient noise cancelation with a portable design and decent audio quality.
