I use these

Sony In-Ear Headphones with in-line volume control for iPods. The actual code for them is really long: MDREX38IPB.CE7
Probably not the best headphones but they work well enough for me and my iPod. I use activator to map skip track to the volume controls and I never have to take my iPod out of my pocket

Skullcandy ICON - pretty fancy as I don't usually buy headphones that exceed $20. These were worth it though as they simply look rad and the sound's relatively good considering the price. That said, I do have to change the jack, it's sort of "loose" now due to wear-and-tear and I don't want that. Gotta get one of'em heavy-duty ones and solder it nicely. Another nice touch are the exchangable decals - I'm using the lower ones.

LOL why are people posting pictures of the default ipod headphones and cheap £2 stuff XD

i use these, they cost me around £40 and do the job good enough.

even if i could afford the beats (which i can) i wouldn't buy them because they are not worth the money compared to decent headphones that cost much less, people buy beats just to look cool when they are outside.

Maybe because that's what those people use to listen to their music. Perhaps you misunderstood the thread title.

I have been hearing good things about Wicked Audio since they showed up in CES 2011, so I decided to take a shot at these. I couldn't decide what color I wanted, so I got both.

I use these on my Xbox 360

And I bought these for my mother for her laptop

As far as the Wicked Audio cans go, they suck! one pair broke within a week. Snapped at the adjustment band. Audio quality is good for $12, but the build quality is questionable at best.

I'm cheap so these:

Were somewhere in the 20 euro range.

Sennheiser HD 25-1 II's. I considered the ATH-M50's but these seemed like a better option for both SQ and portability. I never thought i'd ever spent over £100 on headphones....

Were they worth the money? And how's comfortability + durability + weight? I did my own research on headphones and I came across choosing between those and the Sony MDR-7506.

this is what I use for recording purposes

Outside of recording, can you bring them outside of a working environment? I've also considered these since I've read good reviews on them and they're cheaper than the Sennheiser HD 25-1 II.

It depends what you want them for, what you're playing music on, how that music is encoded and what music you're listening to....which in essence highlights that they're doing a good job (as on cheaper headphones i've never noticed as much difference between sources). Of course paying that much money for a pair of headphones is somewhat nuts and even if they complimented me on my taste in music after i finished listening to every album, i'd still feel a bit awful for spending so much. However, these are a solid pair of well performing headphones and i don't regret getting them....i certainly don't need to worry about new headphones for anything other than easy listening at home (i'd want an open back pair with a larger soundstage and more comfort).

They're not uncomfortable, but i'm somewhat used to supra-aural headphones. However, i have noticed that sometimes when i'm wearing glasses they can sit uncomfortably until i adjust my glasses sides. due to the pressure on my ear-glasses-head. Lack of comfort never really enters the equation for me - i read the same warnings about them clamping down but generally they're fine. And they isolate outside sound wonderfully....even better than my previous Sennheiser noise cancelling phones.

Got some Klipsch s4's a month or 2 ago, they work wonderfully and I hope to keep them for a loong long time.

it's a plain eq headphone used for mixing/mastering music.... you won't get any bass boost, so movies and games fx sounds dont get any benefit from it, besides the high quallity sound. If you gonna use it to listening music, make sure the eq of your player it's turned off because that defeats the purpose of these headphones.

you can get a good headphone that will do the job for much less... it all depends on what you want to use it

That's good to read for me! You've pretty much answered all my questions so thanks for the reply!

Not too interested in heavy bass but I see what your saying. Listening to soft rock may pose a problem for the lack of bass so I will reconsider. When you say good headphones that will do the job, what do you have in mind? I would mostly use them for listening to music outside of me home, so they'll have to be not too heavy in terms of weight.
