Audio-Technica
ATH-M20 Headphones

These are Audio Technica's entry level headphones, and it appears that entry level for them is miles above anybody else's definition. To begin with, the construction is as solid as you would expect from a much more expensive set, and unlike similarly priced models, these feel like you could actually take them out to gigs without fear of breaking them. The phones are connected to the headset via two sturdy metal rods rather than the usual plastic, and connected with actual metal screws. In terms of comfort, these have a high rating. The earpieces fit snug and easy and the headband is thick and heavily padded. The sound is again way above what you'd expect at this price range. These feature 40mm drivers which deliver a loud signal with very reasonable sound quality. The bottom line is the MTH-20 are the only headphones under $50 that you could consistently use in a club situation. Single coiled cable. 1/4" adaptor included.

Panasonic
RP-HTX7 Headphones - Pink

Pink version! These retro-styled headphones feature the coolest "new" headphone design we've seen in a while. The RP-HTX7s look so sleek (especially with the new black earpads and head band), plus they include all the correct vintage details like an authentic leather, sewn head band cushion and extra-cushy ear pads. As for sound quality, the RP-HTX7s compare favorably to Sony's V500 with 40mm drivers and 1000mW power capacity, making these ideal for listening and casual home DJ use.
