Is this a good deal?

I am looking to buy these headphones Philips SHL5000. Its available for 20$ at my place. Let me know if there is any other you would recommend. My budget can go max 30$.

I personally don't like them..

And would you settle for earbuds instead? I have a VERY nice pair of Koss earbuds I got for $30 or $35 a few months ago. Sound amazing.

 

Personally I would see if you can find a more hollow design to actually cover your ears. It's more comfortable, and the sound is more contained. I do prefer proper headphones to earbuds as well, as they're far more comfortable and I find the noise given out by earbuds usually lack a lot of good lows and midtones.

Edit: For example, I'd love a pair of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-SKUL...ccessories&hash=item416046835f#ht_1609wt_1318

Keep in mind that if you try to go cheap, you'll probably GET cheap. Pay bananas, get monkeys. Try to do a bit of research I guess.

 

I think the philips are great.

 

philips are good brand

 

Philip's do make good quality. But headphones, tend to be along the lines of , what you pay for is what you get. But i'd suggest something that goes around your entire ear, you'll find that they are much much much more comfortable after long sessions of music listening.

(Note i am a DJ and my head phones i can wear for 4+ hours before i even notice they're on my head)

 

I like them, and Phillips is a good brand so I'd say go for it.

 

yepp! I bought them at 16$ and absolutely love them. Dont cover my ears but are very light and isolate outside noise! Recommended

 

these don't look so good, not comfy at all, i'd recommend beats !

 

Sony Bose sounds the best IMO, but yeah it's a good deal.
