Headphones, best affordable

Hi,

I thought I'd start a thread about the monitoring headphones. I need ones that I can plug into my Zoom H1. Which ones are good value for the money? I would love to buy SONY MDR-7506, but those cost £105 (the real ones, not Chinese counterfeit). So which headphones would you recommend for sound monitoring for no-budget kind of film-making?

Must be cheap, but relatively good quality, like those cheap Chinese mics.

Any advice?

I am using this one for quite long time.
Recommend to get better external power supply, otherwise it is very handy and very good amp.

Price: around $160 shipped

Superlux HA3D

Headphone amplified made for teams requiring monitoring on up to three headphones in parallel.

Very sturdy case, similar to Sound Devices. Locking connectors. Thing thing is made to take serious beating.
Works either from AA batteries or 5-17VDC external power (so, almost any external solution will do).
