I purchased these red headphones at Fry's for $20. Obviously, I should have ordered them from Amazon instead, but oh well. (Although, they look much better in person than in that photo above.) You may also have seen that this pair comes in white, black, pink, green, etc. I picked red so that I could find them more easily in the darkness of my purse (and I thought it was more attractive looking than any of the other colors).

I have had these headphones for over a year now and use them everyday on my home stereo. They handle a lot of power, 200 mw, and can easily get to mindbending soundlevels if you so desire. They sound very very good and take everyday use, so what more could you want for twenty dollars. Also, the more I listened to them on my home stereo the better they sounded, even on my mp3 player, i.e. more bass and smoother midrange on the underpowered miniplayer. I recommend these without hesitation for both portable and home use.
