Hard question, Creative HQ-1300 is a low cost Headphone, so is difficult to say if its a good choice.\n\nOf course Creative is an excellent brand, so could be a good choice. \n\nFirst check up the Sony MDR-EX71SL/WK Headphones (USD 26-50 depends on the store), bt those ones are earbuds.\n\nIf you can afford a better choice I'll recomend you:\n\n- Shure E2c (USD 60 - 99) (Earbuds)\n- Sony MDR-V700DJ (USD 87 - 158) (Full size headphones)\n- Sennheiser HD 280 Pro (USD 84 - 139) (Full size headphones)\n- Sony MDR-NC11 (USD 74 - 149) (Earbuds with noise-cancellation)\n- JVC HA-NC100 (USD 44-89) (Full size headphones with noise-cancellation)

I assume here that you are asking about nearfield active monitors, and that you are aiming for sub-$500 for the pair (not each). \n\nThere are a few factors which play into the decision, including (a) the type of music you will be working with, (b) your workstation setup, and (c) the room.\n\nThe type of music can determine whether or not you need a subwoofer. If you do, that's an additional component which you will need to factor into your overall budget.\n\nThe workstation setup will play into the positioning and power of the speakers. How much space do you have? Where will the speakers go, and will they be near any walls or corners? How will they be positioned relative to your head? (assuming nearfield)\n\nThe room can play a bit into the monitor decision, but it's probably a bit more of a factor in tuning your setup once you have your monitors. Look into room acoustics as you're making your monitor decision to understand what your overall monitoring/room setup will entail.\n\nHaving thought a bit about the above, the key thing for monitors is to have something sufficiently detailed and revealing to make accurate mixes. Ideally, it won't be too fatiguing, as you will most likely be listening to them for extended periods of time. On top of that, it's mostly a matter of getting accustomed to them so you can make accurate mixing decisions. \n\nThe net of all of this is that monitor choices are fairly personal. Keep in mind that the goal is to get something accurate which will allow you to hear everything you need to hear, which is NOT the same as "sounding good". Take some CDs and audition your top candidates against music you know well, focusing on key portions that highlight particular ranges or potential problem areas (extended low bass, detailed highs, stereo imaging, etc.) It can help to take some of your own mixes, if possible.\n\nSome specific inexpensive monitors I've heard good things about are the KRK Rokits and the lower-end Events. Again, the key is to be familiar with the speakers so you can make accurate mixes.

You have a strange philosophy,  "Fidelity of sound and quality of construction aren't important."  Those are two hallmark features of headphones right there.  I wouldn't buy something that didn't sound anything less than perfect.  Anyway... yeah... I'm just shuttering here at the fact quality of sound is unimportant, give me a second to recover from shock (I'm just joking with you) but you'd probably faint if you knew how much I have paid for my current collection of headphones.\n\nSo, anyway, the cheapest I could find was this Panasonic set at $62, http://www.bizrate.com/marketplace/search/search__cat_id--11560000,nwylf--,prod_id--251478725,sort--6.html and they got an okay rating at Cnet, http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_RP_WF930_S/4505-6468_7-31214939.html?tag=pdtl-list they're not great but okay.  I certainly wouldn't go ANY cheaper.\n\nAhhhh, point taken, okay, cheap cheap cheap it is.  A quick search on Bizrate turned up a refurbished pair of the Sony MDR-RF960RK (that's a mouthfull) headphones available for $36 from eCost (closeout deal), http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=495873&store=ecost&source=ECOSTBIZRATE&srccode=cii_10043468&cpncode=11-6949134-2&adcampaign=email,ECOSTBIZRATE they retail for $90 in case you were wondering.

I'm a big Acer fan myself.  I think you get more for your money with them.  Check out this site for good prices.

make sure to mix in many different aspects. include headphones, stereo high-quality speakers, stereo lower-quality speakers, and mono trash speaker (its all some people have, and you want them to enjoy as much as possible)  make sure everything is audible in its importance range, and nothing is being masked or overpowered.  \nother than that, its personal taste

I HAVE THE WHOLE SET AND LOVE THEM. YOU DON'T NEED A STUDIO. JUST YOUR LIVING ROOM. AND IF YOU GET THE STRIPTEASE ONES THEN YOU NEED A CHAIR. BUT THE SECOND VIDEO IS EXERCISE AND YOU JUST NEED YOUR LIVING ROOM, THATS ALL.

I would check out this website.  Very cool.   www.headpone.com  I recently bought some px100's made by Sennheiser.  They sound excellent and are portable, just like this website said. They also list their ratings for types like you want for running/jogging too. \n\nAlso possibly look into a  headpone amp, which I also found on this website, headphone.com.  It makes a helluva difference if you really want some audiophile smoking sounds.  The amp is made by Digizoid.  See them at digizoid.com. \n \nThe headphoes were like 38 or 42  or something with shipping through shopping.com/amazon.com.  the amp was 45-50 dollars and well   worth every penny for both.\n  \nThats my hookup for the night ,, just for you! \n  Y Answers rules...  ;-)
