Music Headphones

[Rosie1]

What brand/model do you have?

Any that have been favorites or ones you'd steer clear from?

I just bought these:
http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-SPORT-B...99144&sr=8-1&keywords=jabra+bluetooth+headset

so far I love them. I'm having a challenge figuring out which set of eargels fit my ears best, but other than that, they're pretty great!

I currently use these at work:

I like them fine, but may try something different when they eventually wear out. I like bluetooth, so as not to be tied to my phone with a cord. Over-the-ear types are very uncomfortable on me, as I wear glasses, and end up with a headache from too much pressure behind my ears.

regular earbuds NEVER stay in my ears, and the in-ear styles only sort-of stay.

I've never understood why people pay so much for headphones. I'm usually fine with the crappy, cheap kind.

Ours has a cable mod though, so it's more fancy

Good lord! If that broke I'd probably kill someone!

Holy Shiatt!!! I just ordered some cheapies from Amazon to replace the ones that I discovered are missing. I only use them for the iPod so they don't need to be fancy.

It's all about the little things. Even a bad set of headphones can sound nice with an amp, and your songs in the proper format (lossless, and from a CD not downloaded, get a converter!). Also better sound comes out of the bottom dock part of your ipod, so a line from that to the amp is best.

Dock->Amp->Headphones all in lossless. Great sound!

This guy makes awesome amps for cheap and they look so cool

Also to answer the fogotten question in the original post of what to steer clear of, any Beats by Dre! They sound ok because they have a built in amp, but the value (price to quality in this case) is terrible. Apple earbuds with the amp I linked would probably sound better for 1/3 the price.

I have theese

I bought them initially because I like my cable to have fabric over it, so I dont break it. But the sound is sooo good and accurate. Plus theyre quite cheap. Woo.

I use senheiser. I have a pair of their cheaper in-ear ones for everyday travel (to work etc), and a more expensive pair of over-the-head ones for use at the computer and on long journeys. Affordable and really good quality sound.
