It’s hard to go wrong with this headphone at this price, it is the internet-legendary closed-back over-ear detachable-cable Monoprice 8323 headphone on sale for $16 with free shipping (no minimum purchase required) from the Monoprice website. You can buy as many as you like (within inventory limits of course, if a billionaire decides to buy 10 million of them, they probably don’t have enough available). The sale is good until 2/29/16 unless they sell out.
This is a great buy under $30 shipped, so when you can get it at half that price, this is definitely even better. It did get some hype, the recommendation echo chamber effect, but again, there’s only so much a reasonable person can expect for a $16 shipped pair of headphones. Despite the size, this is not as expansive for big big heads (some on-ears are more roomy), and when you wear it in public, you kinda look like one of those 50s low-budget sci-fi robotic creatures. But again, you are paying $16 not $160 for fashionable Beats 🙂
It also comes with one long and one short 3.5mm audio cable (no mic/remote but it is detachable, so you can use your own mic/remote cable). And a 1/4″ adapter. So $16 gets you a pair of headphones, two audio cables, and a 1/4″ adapter. And a quasi-sturdy cardboard box (the one they are packaged in).
Speaking of Monoprice, a few other audio-related products (earbuds and other on-ear/over-ears) are part of their Valentine’s Sale (ends 2/14/16).
