TDK ST-PR300
As one of the cheapest pairs of full-size headphones available, TDK's ST-PR300 has surprisingly competent sound reproduction at moderate volumes. For a street price of a little more than $20, these headphones offer decent treble clarity and reasonable mid-range response. It's not all good news, though -- build quality is poor and the headphones leak sound badly.
