I have a pair of Bose quiet comfort 15s or something I got super cheap used, they sound great and are super comfy.
I have gone through like 3 cords though but they are replaceable at least and cheap on ebay.
Then I have a xone 53 pair which I got for 200$ new years ago, they aren't as comfy but get much louder and have better sound quality for sure.
The Xone pair is made of metal which I love, very durable but the headphone pads are a bit hard and make my ears sore after a few hours sometimes.
They get so loud they are probably made for DJ's who leave them half off their head very nice for live music and studio stuff.

For that price you could get something pretty nice new I bet though 220$ for the 35's is pretty good as they are 350 new it seems.
The 15's are great aside from being a tad on the quiet side so I bet the 35's are stellar, definitely do some research first though.

hey dude,
i know alot about headphones, have been using them for years and have heaps of pairs of my own. let me know if you have any queries.
but yeah, in my opinion the best value headphones on the market are the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro, and the AudioTechnicha ATH-m50. the ATH-m50's are a bit more expensive, but if you can afford 'em i'd recommend those.
They both have great sound for their price range, and are good solid all rounder headphones that do everything well, suit just about any purpose.
once you start looking at stuff priced above these it starts to have diminishing returns where its not really worth the money and requires other stuff like DAC's and amplifiers and etc
last verse on this is sick

Sennheiser HD 598 is my shit. Massive improvement over the HD 280 Pro, but a lot more expensive. It doesn't need an amplifier, but it does benefit from one. It has a massive plug but should come with 3.5mm adapter. I use it without amp on my laptop and sounds great.
I actually picked them up used for $50. Best value, lol!

For $50 that's amazing! Where did you get them from?? But generally for most people the hd280/m50 are good enough.
I've got a pair of denon ah-d5000's and audeze lcd-2's and a violectric v100 amp. They're epic

A Dutch computer website. They are barely used and look pristine. It's actually my first pair of nice headphones I got, haven't purchased an amp for myself yet. Those headphones you've got look really good, couldn't imagine how they sound, haha.

Someone mentioned it earlier, but the Audio Technica ATH-M50 are a consistent recommendation for a solid pair of cans.
I LOVE my Sennheiser momentum 2.0, and the wireless option adds a convenience factor that's out of this world. They also have moderate noise canceling (but if noise cancellation is your primary focus, look elsewhere).

I have the Beyerdynamic DT770 and I love them. Extremely comfortable with a really spacious sound. I think they are pretty cheap on amazon still, I got mine around Christmas for like 150. I'd recommend the 32 ohm version if you don't intend to get an amp.

The Sennheiser HD 598 are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. The ear cups are big so they totally cover the ears and it's a very nice material! I'm very picky with things in/over/on my ears and this is the only thing I've found to appease me.

Yes I do but these are Custom In Ear Monitors not over the ear headphones. The sound quality is amazing and the fit is superb! I literally wear these babies for over 8 hours with little to no discomfort.
The best thing about them is they are built specifically for you.
