My headphones just died out a minute ago, which means it's time for a new set. Any good sets for about 30 bucks?

Also, what the hell do the "drivers" on headphones mean?
 
Drivers in the audio world means speakers.

Not sure on headphones though.. try www.headphone.com for some info. My cans are 10x your price goal so it is best someone else chime in.

save up a *little* more and get grado sr60s
Or Sennheiser HD497s. They can be found for a little less $$$, although IMO the SR60s are great.

I'm all for Grado! I have the SR-325s.. :D
As do I. I also have a couple pairs of sennheisers and will recommend them as well. However I suggest reading some other threads that are already up and relatively current because they cover everything you're asking about.
 
If all you have is $30 its probably best to stick with koss. Sennheiser doesn't make a good set until you spend $50.

Though, I would highly recommend spending $50 for some Senns (HD477 at the lowest, preferably HD497). Then again it might not make a difference if you have a crappy sound card.
 
The reason I don't want to pay more than 30$ is because I don't listen to music all that much, I just use headphones for CS. In the rare occasion that I do listen to music, price is more of a factor than quality. I looked at the sennheiser PC 150 and the HD 202. Are they any reputable?
 
I agree with agentzero9.
For cans in that price range, the Koss products ... particularly the KSC35's are hard to beat.

As for your source..... I would be inclined to suggest an upgrade before you buy these or any cans. The hissing and poor sound quality will drive you nuts.
 
I would, if money was available. :p I just spit out 800$ for a new system, so i'm pretty short of money right now.

EDIT: Oh, and I probably couldn't tell a major difference in sound quality to save my life. I can't notice any difference between wav and mp3 when they have the same hz and res.
