Sony MDR-SA3000
$350.00
Released June, 2006
The Pros:Excellent clarity, bring out a lot of the detail in music. Comfortable to wear for hours at a time. Highs are well represented, never get too harsh.
The Cons:Delicate construction, a lot of the parts feel a little flimsy. Bass gets distorted fairly easily at medium volumes. Basic iPods don't have the power to drive these properly without a headphone amp.
