Just an update, in case anyone is interested. I have been trying different headphones in the last few days. I finally settled for Cyber Acoustics HE200rb. I absolutely love the sound I am hearing through them - I wasted 6 weeks using the the dollar store headphones! Okay, maybe not quite 'wasted' but they definitely weren't the ones to use, when listening to brain programming tunes.
I had never before heard of Cyber Acoustics and I picked them up mainly because they included volume control. So for $20, I thought I will try and return if I don't like.
I don't like. I love them! So if anyone else is shopping for reasonably priced headphones, check out Cyber Acoustics website.
The ones I bought are very light weight and very comfortable around the head and ears.
