Pros: Pretty Good Sound, Comfortable, Beyerdynamic Name
Cons: Look Ridiculously Outdated

Beyerdynamic is a company much like Sennheiser, only Beyerdynamic headphones are higher priced, and this is one of their entry-level headphones, the DT231. Sound quality is very good for this price, maybe a bit bass-light for the picky, but very good mids, and clarity that is unexpected for this price. These are also some very comfortable headphones and have the Beyerdynamic name. The only minor issue is that they look ridiclously outdated. Even the new purple color looks a bit dated to me, while Koss and Sennheiser have more modern looking headphones. But, if sound and comfort are top priorities, you should find the medium-priced DT231 satisfying.
