I need something with enough volume and decent sound for a low price.
I had the
Sony MDR-25 that fit that description for $20. They don't make them
anymore.

It seems the ones I bought, Sony MDR-201V, don't get that much volume
out of
them.

The specs are almost identical to the MDR-25 and I don't know why one
model
would get lots of volume and the other not enough. Anybody know?

It looks like Sensitivity and Power Hadling Capacity may be the specs
that
determine volume. I'm kind of guessing really.

Sensitivity is as follows,

MDR-201V: 100 dB/mW

MDR-25: 102dB/mW

Power Handling Capacity is the same for both at 0.1 W.

Is 102 that much louder than 100?

I've tried them with an HP 7100 with integrated sound, a Dell GX280 (I
think)
with integrated sound and my 7 3/4 year old Dell with a Soundblaster
Value OEM
card. The GX280 had the lowest volume and the old Dell the hightest.

Thanks.
