Hey guys, I'm new to audio and I would like to know which pairs of headphones I found are better for the price. (I am willing to go over budget a little bit if you guys have other recommendations)

I really like the Super Lux ones because of the modularity but I just want to know which ones you guys recommend(or any other headphones you guys like for around this price). Thanks in advance :)

Don't get the Samson. It may be the same headphone (with better pads) as the Superlux but it is even more cheaply built with a flimsy thin nondetachable wire unlike the Superlux.

That's what I was thinking as well. I really like the SuperLuxes modularity.

Sure, but are they open or closed?

 

 

Closed but they're infinitely better than either of those
