As the title says, I'm looking for good (great bass, but not muddy) cheap ($35 or less) HEADPHONES... not earbuds... On-ear or over-ear only please... Can be a headset, but doesn't have to be. WHEN POSTING, PLEASE INCLUDE PRICE AND/OR A LINK TO BUY! THANKS! Also, you can put what headphones you're using. This will be interesting:creep:

If you want cheap with decent quality sound and comfort I suggest Sennheiser 429s

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?&Item=N82E16826106642

$59.95 use coupon EMCKAAT223 to take $25 off. Total = $34.95

I use the non s version and its very light and doesn't squeeze your head.

bass is good, after a little burn in from hours of regular use it will sound much better

I also used to use the HD201, but it gets very uncomfortable after 2 hours or so

Sennheiser HD201 ~$20

I've had them for the past 7 years because I'm a cheap bastard. They work great, but they are a bit quiet so they are perfect if you are using a PC or a TV or a console. The cord is LONG and they are very comfortable.

Actually, the HD202 is objectively better, cost the same, and have a more reasonable frequency response according to this website.

I've been using 202 and tried 201 on one occasion - they're not exactly comfortable for long use, but that might be because I'm used to my 518s now :^)

That 429 does look like a good option too, if you want to pay a little more.

These. I can't even begin to explain how good these are. For 6 goddamn dollars you get earbuds with super good noise canceling, pretty good bass, high comfortability, and high volume. My only gripe is the lack of a media remote and mic. I own two pairs, both of which are around three years old and still sound great. Hell, they went through the washing machine and they still sound great. There's a little filter inside though that can get messed up if you have a lot of earwax, but you can just take it out with a toothpick if it starts sounding quiet.
But he said no earbuds.


My cousin have the Sony MDR XB950. Detailed and decent bass but I'm not sure how much they cost.

Sennheiser 201s are great, never had a problem with discomfort, 203s however did hurt my head. The 429s are really nice but the cord is kinda long and thin/cheap feeling.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
