Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First I tried the SONY MDR-ZX100 headphones that were on average $10 cheaper. They sounded really good as well for the price. I read in many reviews that if you upgrade to the SONY MDR-ZX300 for about $10 more the overall sound and base is much better! I am happy to say that it is very true, the volume level and total sound spectrum is MUCH better. The highs are crisp and the base is in fact richer (deeper) and not at all muddy. You will also notice that the mids are very well balanced and is actually very surprising in this price range! I decided to go with the red version of the SONY MDR-ZX300 headphones because they just look really GOOD!!!! In my opinion this may be the best headphones value on the market bar none! If you need really good headphones that look, sound, feel and perform great in the $20-$30 price range look no further you just found them!!!!!! UPDATE: I like these Sony MDR-ZX300 headphones so much as everyday beater headphones that I just purchased ANOTHER pair yesterday 2/13/12 in BLACK. I am a headphone Guy and I really have to say SONY hit it out of the park with the MDR-ZX300 value wise!!!!
