I don't think you need to spend that much money. I got a really good set
of
Sony's MDR-CD160. They only cost around $40-$50 two years ago. I go
through headphones
quickly because most don't have the durability. They might not look like
much but
I have stepped on them, piled stuff on them, and generally treated them
like
crap. They still work perfectly. Keep in mind if you want something for
engineering
you want speakers/headphones that are flat.
