well i dont know how old you are but if you want style and good sound for a reasonable price i would go for skullcandy.com I have used 4 different ones and they are all pretty good i gotta say. I am using the Titans right now and they are just as good in my opinion as some of the pretty high end ones and they look cool. if you want something cheaper but nearly as good go for the smokin buds or inkd i had them and they were awsome my dad even uses them! For bigger over ear headphones i have used Hesh and Skullcrushers. Hesh is really nice and keeps your ears warm and has beautiful clear sound but the skullcrushers are really cool and the best choice if you love bass because it has a freakin sub-woofer in the headphones themselves. Also their warranty is amazing if they break because of a manufacture thing you send it in they replace it for free, if you dont like them you can get something else by sending them back in. If they break during bad use you can return them and i believe you get half credit.
Skullcandy is trendy bullshit with the worst sound ever. My Koss porta pros, which cost 10 bucks less then their Lowriders, produces much more bass, and a much better overall sound. The Skullcandy IEMs are ok, but still not worth the price.
It felt like it was made of cheap plastic, and the cable looked pretty thin. The good thing was the comfort, and was more comfortable then my Prota Pros.
BUT
Their sound is awful. The sound is so goddamn awful, I can't even listen to the song itself. The bass was horribly weak, yet all these 10-17 year olds that use them says OMG THE BASS! THERE'S SO MUCH BASS!!!!!!!!!!!. The clarity was horrid, with absolutely no detail, and the mids were awful. The highs were better then the two, but still awful. For the money you pay, unless you want some trendy bullshit that looks good, get it. But if you really want to listen to music, get something else. Any skullcandy products aren't worth it, unless you pay less then half of what they want you to pay.
Also, avoid any Bose products, CHEAP Sony products (since cheap sony ones are bad, while their more expensive models are actually superb for the price. Sony MDR-7506, for example), and Skullcandy.
EDIT: Get the Sony MDR-7506 / V6. The Ultimate ears Studio 3 may stick out of your ear by far, and the sound isn't so impressive for the price, though they are a good entry IEM. Also, I'd rather avoid Panasonic products as well.
EDIT 2: I was also thinking of getting the Koss porta pros back in April. I asked Renegade_R, and he said I should. After 4 months of usage, I never regretted the purchase. Too bad my brother lost it in BCIT........ (He said he left it somewhere during editing, and he forgot to bring it back. Next day, he went to find it, but it was just gone.)
Oh well. I'll be getting an Audio Technica ESW9, so I hope it feels the void....
