Hi Guys,

I am looking for some Sennheiser HD497's but the only site I found is asking $14 for shipping :[.

So I've been doing my research, but I can't really decide on a similar headphone to buy.
I am looking for:
-affordable headphones ~$50
-I want them to be light like the HD497s
-open air
-fake leather ear covering instead of the foam (cuz it stays cooler)
-and something thatll fully cover my ears
-not too much bass. That exaggerated bass bothers me.

I was hoping for some suggestions. Thanks a lot guys!

what do u guys think about these Sony Studio Monitor MDRV500DJ

The Sony headphones i tried were mediocre. I would look at some other Sennheiser or AKG models.

Sennheiser HD201's are fantastic sounding headphones for the money. For $50 you could buy two pairs!

for that price point i don't have a recommendation other than stay way from the sony DJ's. your point about exaggerated bass is what these cans do in spades. complete rubbish.

Wanna buy mines for next to nothing?


The cord for it went dead on the right side and it costs $30 or so for the replacement....

I have better headphones now, but it does feel like a waste.....if anybody knows a cheaper replacement sennheiser cable for it, let me know.
