The Creative Aurvana Live! Headphones--a slightly improved clone of a classic Denon can (Denon AH-D1001)--is back down to $54.99. This is a steal on a great little headphone that matches others (and I mean good headphones) 2 to 3 x its current price. Link:

Not an April fools joke--The Creative Aurvana Live! Headphones--a slightly improved clone of a classic Denon can (Denon AH-D1001)--is back down to $54.99. This is a steal on a great little headphone that matches others (and I mean good headphones) 2 to 3 x its current price.

It will work with a good sound system or straight out of an iphone, ipod and the like.

Bill - My son is looking to replace his current headphones (Denon DJ). He wants to pay no more than $200.

To me, his current headphones sound awesome. But, I spend too much time riding diesel tractors without hearing protection so what do I know! He listens to jazz (saxophone), rock and shit (also called rap). His hope is to have strong/tight bass while maintaining clean treble.

You seem to know a lot about headphones and I thought you might have a suggestion.

thanks!
Jim

Jim--if he's willing to go slightly above $200 (shipped) the Denon AH-D2000 is probably the can for him--provided he does not want a mobile can. They are made for in home use.

Here's a couple reviews:

http://www.headphone.com/headphones/denon-ah-d2000.php

http://www.head-fi.org/products/deno...ear-headphones

The ways to get the best prices are to follow the above (post #16) link--EE is out of stock for now, but stay tuned, or to call J & R music and ask one of their sales reps for the Head-Fi special on these cans or best price.

If mobility is important to him, the good but not as good Audio-Technica ATH-M50 or M50S (with a straight cord) or Shure SRH 840 are good choices. The AT is more of a basshead can and the Shure is more neutral with a slight mid base hump.

See for the AT:

http://www.headphone.com/headphones/...ca-ath-m50.php

http://www.head-fi.org/products/deno...ear-headphones


For the Shure:

http://www.head-fi.org/products/shure-srh840

http://www.headphone.com/headphones/shure-srh840.php

Whatever you/he do/does stay away from "lifestyle" cans like the Beats & Skullcandy. Almost all of them or crap or mediocre at best and virtually all are grossly overpriced.

Here's a few buying guides that may of help:
