For extremely inexpesive headphones that sound good, I have the Koss
HV/X High Velocity when I don't want to wear the heavy ESP-10 'statics.
They are unfortunately somewhat discontinued, but can be had for the
low price of $30 from Accoustech in Milwaukee (next to the Koss factory,
and the only authorized Koss service center). They certainly do not have 
flat frequency response, but they do sound nice, have circumaural foam 
ear cusions, are comfortable to wear with glasses, permit outside sounds
to enter, etc. If these features appeal to you, this might be a great
deal. They come with one year warranty.

An aside: If you have some Koss phones with the oil filled cusions, Koss
is required by law to replace them free with air filled. Apparently the
oil will stain clothing beyond cleaning if the cusion is punctured by
earrings and such.

If anyone wants the address/phone #, send mail.
