Not necessarily the cheapest nor the best quality but the best value for money.

This isn't that great as it completely disregard one key aspect: closed-back vs. open back. They take these two separate things which provide different sounds depending on what you want and they replace it with "isolation" and say low isolation is bad when it isn't always.

I have a pair of Superlux HD 681s which are open back (meaning low isolation) and they're fantastic and only cost $30.

Two subreddits that can help with your search.

i am happy that (at the time of my posting/viewing) this thread only has 2 replies and this is one of them.

I remember when I wanted new headphones, I did a lot of research. I only had around $35 to get a new pair so I looked all around, asked questions, and narrowed it down to Sennheaiser 202s and Superlux HD 681s. Reddit helped the end product. Couldn't be happier.

Thank you for the headphone advice, SandyNigger.
