I'm looking to get some headphones to use on the go. I'm just tired of earbuds breaking. These are the twos i have found, or is there something better, in a simlar price point. I'm looking that can fit in my messenger bag and such.

Of the two the AKG will be a little better from a portability standpoint. You might also consider the Sennheiser Adidas PMX 680 or 680i, which should be good if you're not just on-the-go, but active. If you're willing to put up a few more dollars, the Audio Technica ATH-M50 fold up nicely, and are probably the best value in headphones today. You won't regret it, if you go this route, though they are a bit outside your range. Good luck, Boz

Thanks the m50's are a bit out of my price range right now. I will check out the PMX
