Practice headphones...

I'm looking to invest in some headphones for practicing through my combo amp at home, no professional level headphones, but something that doesn't sound like ass. I've seen two that seem pretty good in the price range I'm aiming for:

Some Senheiser headphones: http://www.zzounds.com/item--SENHD201

and some Yamaha headphones: http://www.zzounds.com/item--YAMRH2C

Naturally I'd go with the Yamaha as I've never heard of Senheiser. Are either of these headphones any good? I'm also open to other recomendations, but the most I want to spend on a pair is $25. Thanks.

I have a pair of Sonys', the ones that completely cover your ears. $15, full stereo, excellent sound and clarity.

That's cool, I never knew Sony made big headphones for $15. I just bought the Sony MDR-V150 studio headphones for $14, comes with 1/4 in adaptor, apparently very nice headphones. Can't wait for them to get here. Thanks for the help.

simply.... you cannot understand how they sound clear at high freq. and how deep are bass freq.

If you can swing another $25, I would do it and pick up these...

http://www.zzounds.com/item--YAMRH5MA

I own them and have found them to be worthy of all the praise they have received.

don't get the HD201's. I have a pair and they are shite. So shite i was forced to mail Sennheiser and tell them. I much prefer the 202's that i had before, but start around there and go up in $ and get full cans.
