Sony MDR-V600

Pros: Comfortable, sturdy, ample deep bass.

Cons: Too bright in the upper frequencies, lacking in midrange. The "pleather" will eventually start peeling off of both the ear cushions and the headband.

Summary: There are better cans out there for less money. The JVC HA-RX700 model is under $40 and competes with $100 headphones, and is highly praised all over the Internet. Conversely, the MDR-V600 is generally give poor reviews in headphone forums.
