Are good headphones really expensive, or just trendy ones?

Depends on how far your willing to go and/or if you buy into the "Audiophile" scene. For me the price that I am willing to pay for a pair of Headphones comes down to quality of sound, build and ease of repairability. The Beyerdynamic DT770's meet all of those markers for me at £130. There are other who will spend thousands.

You can get a pair of wired headphones for $30-50 that will sound good enough for most people. I use Koss Portapros most of the time.
