Grado SR-80i Headphones
I bought these headphones recently, and have not had a single regret. This headphone has an excellent design: Sturdy headband connected to adjustable ear cups so that it can fit just about any head size. The comfortable ear pads allow hours of use without itchy or sweaty ears. It has an open-ear design, meaning that you can get a great sound without blowing out your ears. They have a great frequency response meaning that they can capture every sound you were meant to hear (but sometimes the ones you weren't suppose to). One of the best listening headphones under $100.
Grado headphones are legendary. Any audiophile looking for headphones should already have them in their top 5. Grado is based out of Brooklyn and has been making high quality headphones and cartridges for over 50 years. Grado has a whole series headphones for different audiophiles (for very different price ranges). Some of their signature headphones will cost about $1600, however, the SR-80i's are great for those who want good sound without giving up a couple of paychecks.
