Ok, I'm looking at $50 headphones for both music and games... ended up with Sennheiser HD212s as the best choice... also see Panasonic 355s as decent...

Best Buy has Sennheiser HD477s... as good as HD212s?

Anything else I should look at? Don't suggest Grados... don't like how they feel, especially the SR60s...
 
How would the Beyeraudio DT231's (sealed) compare to the HD212's? Any opinions? I was considering the Beyer.
 
I can't say anything about the 212s, as I haven't auditioned them. But it may be better if you don't want sound to leak out. The 497s sound quite nice too.

you can easily do some comfort mods to the grados, pick up some new pads and new headphone band from senheiser and your set...i wouldnt sacrifice sound quality if i didnt have to

Were can you get new pads and headphone bands, just point me in the right direction
Thinking about geting the 80's myself.. but i might just save for the HD555's.
 
K. I got the HD212s for $50 at The Good Guys... liking them so far, great deep sounds... bass..
