Pro Quality Sound At Bargain Price

I already had the 201's, but my g/f keeps stealing them, so I thought I would try the 202s, more of a good thing right?!

Cup size:
201: the opening for the ear is a 1/3 larger than the 202s. fit nicely around the ear.
202: are almost on-the-ear style, although they are still comfortable. (no I don't have floppy dumbo ears :p )

Volume:
201: 50% is 202s. in others words, you have to double the volume on the 201s, to get about the same sound output as you just had with the 202s.
202: 200% of 201. they are very sensitive.

Sound Quality: I am a layman so bear with me.
201: balanced, natural sounding. Good imaging. You can close your eyes and almost see the band, picking out subtle sounds.
202: strong bass & highs. At a volume where you can hear the vocals & mids clearly, the bass & highs become painful pretty quickly. It has to be loud for clarity.

Other thoughts:
Many people complain of the 202s being uncomfortable. My belief is they are actually experiencing fatigue from the sound pressure of the bass which is required to hear the vocals and mids clearly.

These two headphones are dirt cheap, yet one is clearly (201) better sounding than the other. I wonder which moderately priced (@$40-70)set might have far better imaging, balance, allow you to hear subtle sounds while still having full, rich bass, etc..? A few in that price range are: Sony MDR-V6, Audio-Technica ATH-M30, JVC HA-RX900? I would love your comments. I am older so a quality set where I don't need to turn it up as loud would be wise. I bought these headphones as an affordable step up from my ipod earbuds and they are definitely MUCH better than those. The overall clarity of sound is much better. I can hear the treble much more clearly and the bass is powerful. These headphones also fit on my head very well. I can wear them for several hours at a time with little discomfort. The only complaint I have is that the cord is really really long. Like almost five feet long. When I read the reviews before I bought these, people commented on this feature, but I was just thinking it would be a little extra slack. Nope. The length of the cord is actually kind of ridiculous. The headphones come with a plastic belt clip sort of thing that I guess you're supposed to wrap the cord around, but it took quite a bit of fiddling to make it work. This is the only reason I'm giving these less than 5 stars.

Final opinion: These are great headphones for the price and are worth the money if you're just going to be listening to music around the house. Don't buy these if you want to use them while working out or something of that nature.
