Need some new headphones

Sign in to disble this ad
My AKG headphones just broke, so Im in the market for another pair.

What I am looking for is a portable pair of headphones in the 30-100$ price range (the closer to 30$ the better).

I have a pair of Grado sr-80s and love them to death, but they are not portable enough. Something similar in sound would be awesome.

I've got a pair of these http://www.headphone.com/products/he.../akg-k-27i.php
They sound really nice a bit bass heavy but nice and full. They fold up really nicely and are super portable. They also do a pretty good job of canceling outside noise.

Those are the pair that broke on me Overall I thought they were pretty good, but the closed back made the sound kind of cramped, if that makes sense.

Any other suggestions?

I get what you're saying the closed back is what sealed the deal for me though. I need decent isolation.
