Looking into buying some headphones (not earphones) for around $50. Max I can spend is $60, no exceptions. If I can get something good for cheaper then great.

They need to have good quality sound and be noise canceling.

If anyone has any ideas lmk please.

Yeah that's the best yer probably going to do. Had a pair a when they first surfaced. They sound great problem is they will last around a year or so tops before they blow out. Hesh has a good built in sub.

Yea i got around 8 months from mine... then they blew up.
But i did hook them to my 300 watt home amp, and on a few occasions i could smell burning plastic/wiring from them...

Over all i'd say they where worth the 70$... i torchered them and they stood up well to it.

Although I've had some $100 Bose that are 2 years + which take a lot of abuse and still work amazing. I abuse the fuck out of my headphones in general.

They are the WORST rofl. They just market Dre's name. They're on par with skull candy as far as quality.

I've owned multiple Skullcandy products before and none of them lasted more than 6 months. I'd like to stay away from them if I can find something better.

Any other ideas?
