beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro

Durable and time-tested, this is a great set of cans... if you're not sensitive to treble peaks, that is.

The verdict

This is a fantastic set of open-back headphones for $300 USD, its original retail price, and now you can snag it often for less than $200 USD, making it a complete steal. Its tough-as-nails construction and comfortable velour padding make for a relaxed experience. However, if you're sensitive to treble peaks, you may want to keep looking.
