Basic/mid fi headphone advice.

I do not like ear buds of any sort. Looking for good bang-for-the-buck over the ear headphones for previewing and researching music when I'm away from my system. This will be mostly through iTunes or other low res streaming. iPhone or laptop as source. Almost never for serious listening. I do not need noise cancelling. Not looking for BlueTooth units as BlueTooth never sounds good to me. Not sure if there are other wireless options but not a major need; wired is fine.

Would like to spend less than $100.

Is there such a thing? Thanks for any assistance.

Geoff, ear plugs would be a very practical solution but like with many simple obvious solutions comes with serious consequences affecting appetites other than music.

sgordon1, with a good imagination one can satisfy more than a few appetites while sitting. Almost all of them, in fact.

But I'd concede the battles and the wars to keep what I've got......

+3 Grado h-phones. To be honest if your phones sound too loud someone else can hear, you'd be looking at hearing damage. So many of us have it and tinnitus. Not fun....

BTW Grados sound <much> better with pads and foam removed. Does anyone even test this stuff?
