Amazon

Let’s face it: the headphones that you see everyone wearing are usually selling for way more than anyone would like to pay. You shouldn’t have to wrestle with the question: Do I want to have the high end headphones or do I want to eat?

The truth is that there is an assortment of great headphones out there that won’t cost hundreds of dollars. We’ve looked for headphones that are both a fraction of the price of their high-profile competitors and some of those options are so cheap you won’t feel bad taking a chance on them.

We’ve also limited our selection to Amazon. First, they have almost everything. Second, if you’re gonna get a bargain on a pair of headphones you should probably get one that comes with free shipping (if you have a Prime membership).

For those who don't know, Shure has had a strong reputation amongst musicians for making high quality sound equipment. Microphones have been a big part of their history so we're of the belief that a pair of headphones from them are worth it.
