Headphones under 50

Fokus

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)

1.https://www.amazon.com/Superlux-HD668B-Dynamic-Semi-Open-Headphones/dp/B003JOETX8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1531773338&sr=8-1&keywords=SuperLux

2. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002LBSEQS/ref=dp_cerb_2

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

The AKG K52 ain’t bad for that price. Very underrated. Some even say that they’re better than the AKG K92 which I own.
