Anyone have recommendations for a decent set of headphones with a price tag that won't break the bank? I'm currently using a set of Treasurewise headphones.

Koss QZ99's are great, and are priced right...

Calrad 15-135B. About $25. They sound decent, are pretty tough and have a 90 angle plug.

I was gonna suggest the Treasurewise. Those are pretty good right there.
Every pair of headphones I had that had the wire metal slide rails, messed up before too long. Worst pair I had were those White's Royal GT's.
A decent budget pair that makes a great backup are those Garrett Clearsound Easy-stows. They even have an inline volume control.

I agree with the Garrett Clearsound Easy-stows, I like the smaller lighter cup styles. Usually I tuck one cup behind my ear so I can hear what is going on around me. Great clear sound with these by the way.
Best I ever had were a pair of Jolly Rodgers. When I wore them out I got the Koss QZ99's. They have great sound but are a little bulkier then phones made for detecting. Also the cord is very long. I coiled up a few feet of mine and put a zip tie on it. They are noise cancelling and do cut out more sound then the JR's. But I can still hear my kids when they holler at me. I also had a pair of the Garrett easy stows that were mentioned. I don't have a huge head but they gave me a bad headache after about an hour. Gave them to one of my pinhead friends

I use these and love them very comfortable and they seal very well unlike some of the other cheaper ones. That alone will help eliminate outside noise.
Like the more expensive ones, they are a little warm in the summer, though.

Since the OP asked for decent and cheap, I recommended the Calrad.
Looks like the thread has been flipped to mentioning our favorites.. In that case, I'll put in a plug for what are, in my opinion, the best detector headphones made... Killer B's and Sunray Pro Gold. Pretty certain both are being made by the same person. I use the Killer B's Wasp model. Better than decent, but they may break your bank.
