I use Audio Technica ATH-M35 headphones (http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/=
headphones/1e4946cab2f5e453/index.html). They are closed back and foldable =
and made for field recording. Retail price is $139 but you can find them fo=
r like $69 so it's possible to find them within the $100 budget.
I'm satisfied with them. I think that I get what I hear.
As someone here wrote, the amplifier in portable recorders isn't the best s=
o I think these are enough for my needs.
I haven't got any big problems with wind, but I don't record in hard wind o=
ften so I really don't know if they are any better than Sony. I think that =
all headphones that are big will catch some wind. Some more and some less o=
f course.
You can always use in-ear phones if the wind gets to hard... ;) I don't lik=
e using in-ear headphones in nature.
At home I'm using AKG K271 Studio, but I think they are to big to use outdo=
ors.
