Koss - Pro4S Studio Headphones

I've been very happy with my Koss Pro4S headphones. They sound great, built well and most of all.... they're so comfortable you forget you're wearing them. got mine for 99 bucks on amazon. comes with a nice case.

So, these are going to be a bit neutral compared to DJing headphones, but for your budget, I don't think you can beat the [Pro4S Studio Over Ear Headphones - Koss Stereophones](https://koss.com/products/pro4s-studio-headphones). They also take EQing very well and are very solidly built. They have been my go-to studio monitors pretty much since they came out, my previous preference being the Sony MDR-v6s. They are also extremely light and easy to wear.

I see the MDR7506s getting love, which I agree with, however, for the money I'd say the Koss pro4s is going to give you a similarly flat sound response and it comes with a user replicable cord... and a hard case, which is a really nice bonus when you start having to transport things.

This is so funny to me. I was an head-fi audiophile before I was a DJ, and sometimes I forget that not everyone interested in audio has an encyclopedic knowledge of headphones. V-Moda is a solid recommendation IMO. Extremely good isolation, the build quality is great and their recent magnetic pads make replacement a breeze. Really my only complaint with them is the exposed interconnect wire between the cups and the band. I really wish that was internally routed, but I suppose it would be difficult to pull off their hinge design and internally route the interconnect. I'd also recommend looking into the Koss Pro4s if you need something a bit more budget. Beyerdynamic can be a bit controversial :) They are /bright/. I love them, swear by my DT-990s, but I've found a lot of younger listeners hate that sound signature.
