    ^trust me once you go High Quality you will not go back haha... you hear stuff you can never hear with regular headphones and it makes the song better.

    Lol, it's inevitable. Just remember there's a difference between listening to music and enjoying your music. ;)

    I'd have to agree

    I listen to my friend's music on their iPod stock earphones, and they sound rubbish to what I'm used to

  6. yep i got the

    http://www.antonline.com/p_Sennheiser--CX300S--Sennheiser-CX300-B-Earbuds-(Silver)-_274374.htm

    after buying and replacing so many crap brands i looked for quality , hasn't dissapointed me going 1 year strong abused real good still like new, no loss in bass sound or physical damage after being rolled up so many times , ive learned my lesson quality over quantity and they def sound better then ur regular $20 ear phones

    *watch out for fakes watch out for fakes if u gonna buy'em on ebay*

    ye ebay sells a lot of fake sennheiser headphones i hear. best bet is to get them in the shop, they aren't too expensive. but ye i think the cx 300 are one of the best for its price range.

    Late entry, Koss Portapros.

    Still selling new, design hasn't changed since the 80s, for a good reason.

    You lose depth when the scene gets complicated, but for distinct beats/instruments, it's very very impressive for the price.

    Retro looking, very comfortable though.

    I just bought the Sennheiser HD-280. $97 bucks, and I hear they're very good for the cash.

    I recently sold my Aurvanas because I don't use them anymore as I have my Shures. The sound quality is a good upgrade from the Cretive EP 630's, but one thing I did notice about the Aurvanas were that it would fall out of some people's ears when they used mine.

    lol i don't plan on getting shure unless they on super sale or whatever haha....but the other one...ultimate ears super fi 3 i heard sounds pretty good too besides the zen aurvana...does the zen aurvs have memory foam padding? lol memory foam plugs would definitely be a factor into what i'm gonna buy cause i hate the rubber plugs, they feel uncomfortable. got a pair of jvc marshmallows, loving the memory foam. already tried the rubber on the skullcandies, i've put those headphones away and i don't play on using them anymore lol. so yea if one of these have the memory foam plug it would definitely be a +++

    imo dislike sennheiser..find them usually bit screechy, loud, too bassy, except for those who cost like £199 or up like £266 <--really great!

    just recent got a bose around-ear for £99..(gonna use couple hours, so its a must that it fits comfortable imo)
    http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-en...adphones/bose-around-ear-headphones/index.jsp

    i really like akg also..they fit really well, esp around-ears..sound quality are okay, you can also hear the mid-lower and high tones very well..more smoother..it sounds very soft -ease- in the ear..only those whois around £130 and up..

    at home im using a wireless akg hearo 787 surround..got it once on sale just for £53 instead of £130:kekekegay:
    http://www.akg.com/personal/cproducts/powerslave,id,907,pcategory,2,nodeid,11,_language,EN.html

    but i find the bose around-ear are even better than the akg 787..-cool2

    and the akg 701 is on my wishlist..that one is really thabomb! kickin ass! flyin pigs! it still gonna cost like £185..so thats a nono atm
