| The Bottom Line | The AKG K 518 headphones are a good value for eclectic listeners who want a portable earphone that needn't be stuck into the ear. | Koss hit a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts. | You may be fooled by their featherweight design, but the MEElectronics HT-21s earn our recommendation for their ample soundstage, subtle aesthetic, and portable convenience. | While they're not in the same league as the step-up ATH-M50 headphones, the Audio-Technica ATH-M30 set costs a lot less and offers impressive performance and decent build quality for the money. | The Citiscape Metro on-ear headphones have a great sense of style for a budget-priced headphone, but the sound lacks clarity. |
