Best headphones locally for under $100?

going on a trip tommarow and realized ive got nothing but garbage ear buds, looking for some over-ear style headphones under $100, took a look at NCIX and alot to choose from, came across these sonys:

http://ncix.com/products/?sku=48757&...%20Accessories

these are similar but a little cheaper:

http://ncix.com/products/?sku=29606&...%20Accessories

figured might be alright for the price, any other suggestions?

IF you do plan to get any of the ones you listed. Don't forget to price match! Saves quite a bit of money

Check out http://www.headphonebar.com/

Don't get the XD100, the XD200 are decent.

I suggest AKG:

K430 - http://www.headphonebar.com/products...eadphones.html
K450 - http://www.headphonebar.com/products/AKG-K450.html

I have these and they are great for the price: http://www.tomleemusic.ca/main/dj.cf...147&inv=111990

Personally, I bought myself a pair of Sennheiser HD 202's for $69.99. The sound is clear, bass sounds amazing, comfortable and adjustable. Check it out.

Con is that the cord is WAY too long. It comes with a clip which you can wrap the cord around to shorten it.

I realize you're already on your trip. But, do what my buddy does. Buy a really nice pair of whatever, in this case, headphones, when you are done your trip, return them for full refund. Haha, so cheap yet kind of funny.
