Best Headphones for Budget Buyers, Flush Digital Aficionados

People replace things like smartphones and computers every few years, and they often do the same with peripherals like headphones.

The problem is that making a decision on what to buy can get difficult given the many models at various prices. That's why Tech Times has picked great choices at various price points just in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

Under $20 - Sony MDRZX100

There are plenty of options for headphones under $20, but most of them aren't going to sound very good. Sony is known for creating some great headphones, and the MDRZX100 is no exception. These headphones are comfortable, adjustable, and have 30-mm drivers, meaning they'll sound better than any in-ear type headphones for the same price.

Under $50 - Panasonic RPHTX7A1

The first aspect users will notice about these headphones is the design, which looks very retro. Despite this, they sound great and are comfortable, too. The sound is clean and crisp with accurate bass reproduction, making these cans some of the best under $50.

Under $100 - Audio Technica ATH-WS55

Audio Technica has long been one of the most-respected brands in the audio industry, and its headphones are no exception. These headphones offer a punchy bass sound, are well-built and are compact and portable. Some might find these headphones a little uncomfortable, so make sure to try them out before you buy them, but if they are comfortable enough you can't get a much better sound for the price.

Under $200 - Audio Technica ATH-M50x

Once again, Audio Technica makes the list, and for good reason. These headphones include crisp and accurate 45-mm drivers, as well as a high level of comfort. Not only that, but the cable is detachable from the headphones, allowing for easier storage and portability.

Under $500 - Sennheiser HD650

Sennheiser has made hundreds of great headphone models, with the HD650 being no exception. While the headphones certainly are a little heavy, that's really the only negative that can be mentioned. They are extremely comfortable, and have drivers that are hand-selected to ensure precise left/right matching. These headphones scream luxury.

Best of the Best - Sennheiser HD800

We couldn't make a list of headphones by price without including an option for someone who wants to go all out! The Sennheiser HD800 definitely goes all out. These cans are handcrafted in Germany and are the only headphones to use low-mass, low-low-distortion ring-radiator drivers. What does this mean? They sound phenomenal. They do, however, have a price to match, coming in around a whopping $1,500.
