Headphones if I'm not alone.

I spent $250 on my Bose headphones.

okay so is $250 for headphones the norm or is that really extravagent because I have absolutely no idea. Like if you had a college-age son and he announced he was spending this much of his own money would you freak?

Thanks for any input.

Well, I'm that age and pay for everything myself but $250 is a bit extreme for the average consumer to spend on headphones. However, I'm happy with my headphones and get a lot of use out of them.

I agree with ThinMan and would look into something along the $50 - $150 range would probably be the most suitable. Right now the Sennheiser 485D's go for $75 on Amazon.com.

Of course a headphone's sound quality is important but you may also consider other factors such as weight, comfort, design, portability, etc.

I found these forums to be rather helpful:
Head-Fi Forums

while i agree with the headfi link(ive been a member there for about a year) and with the sennheiser promoting im not so down for the 485s. go to headphone.com and look at their reviews. they are ultra audiophile and very knowledgeable about everything headphone. enjoy!
