Then how about the Sennheiser HD212 or HD25-1 (not the 25SP, which has been controversial)? I definitely check out the Audio Technica A500 that MX recommended and also the classic ATH-M50S (see below). You might also like the Sony V6 which benefit from changing the earpads to ones made by Beyerdynamic.

I googled this model and found that the price varies from about $100 on eBay to $150 from several retailers. With the 2/1 euro/dollar ratio, that shouldbe within your range. These places may be in the US but some will ship overseas. |
| Cew27 Member Joined: Feb. 3, 2009 | Message [#24] posted on: 03-14-2009 07:39 PM CST (US). | | yes the ATH-M50S, the gbp to dollar exchange rate is currently at 1 gbp to 1 usd, pathetic, not long ago it was 2 dollars to the pound. |
| cmoy Administrator Joined: Apr. 13, 1999 | Message [#25] posted on: 03-14-2009 08:26 PM CST (US). | | It's not quite as bad as 1/1. XE.com says the exchange rate is 1.4UKP / dollar. That means if you buy on eBay for about $100 US, it's within your budget not factoring in postage. You have to be careful of counterfeit merchandise on eBay and find a seller willing to ship where you are. |

| Cew27 Member Joined: Feb. 3, 2009 | Message [#28] posted on: 03-15-2009 04:55 AM CST (US). | | ok so i think i have narrowed it down to the Equation Audio set and the ATH-MS0S which one will it be?? |
| Cew27 Member Joined: Feb. 3, 2009 | Message [#29] posted on: 03-15-2009 08:39 AM CST (US). | | also is there a difference between the Equation Audio RP21 and the Eartools? |
| Cew27 Member Joined: Feb. 3, 2009 | Message [#30] posted on: 03-15-2009 12:39 PM CST (US). | | ahh i really want to order a set but i am stuck on which, are there any comparison images? |
| cmoy Administrator Joined: Apr. 13, 1999 | Message [#31] posted on: 03-15-2009 12:55 PM CST (US). | | "Eartools" is the name of the Equation headphone line, I think. So, the RP21 is an "Eartool". Have you read the online reviews for these phones? Now, I haven't auditioned the M50 myself, but the M40 has been around a long time. The sound of the M40 (which I also have NOT heard) is said to be on the bass-y side and its appearance isn't as finely crafted, but it is cheaper, if your budget is straining. |

| Cew27 Member Joined: Feb. 3, 2009 | Message [#34] posted on: 03-15-2009 01:52 PM CST (US). | | i dont need to save money, i have more than enough for 5 pairs of either headphones, i am leaning slightly towards the equation audios |
