i’m happy to have “stereo” headphones… i was using these cheap $5 ones and they sounded awful, i swear they were lofi-mono or something – everything sounded tinny. bought some sony earphones for $10 and they sound great for the price. i’m just not willing to pay $100 or more on head phones, even though i listen to my music strictly using headphones.

First of all: Skullcandy and WESC headphones suck. Those are purely made for looks but don’t exactly give you proper audio. If you don’t care about sound quality you should definitely go with those but in any other case; look a little further and read as many reviews as you can before you buy one.

If you’re willing to pay a little more you and many with you should look at more high-end brands (and I don’t mean Bose).
Here are some brands which are the best money can buy for ya out there:
- Ultrasone (especially good for Hip-Hop but very expensive)
-Audio Technica
-Shure
-Grado

These are the top, top brands and you don’t even need to cop the top-models they sell, just go for a 100-150$ headphone model from any of these brands and it’ll be guaranteed succes.

Another tip: Never buy headphones from sites like e-bay to get yourself a better deal, almost every headphone out there is fake so it’s wise to spend a few bucks more with an authorized dealer.

I personally own a AudioTechnica ES7, as far as looks these are as good as you can go and the sound quality is absolute magnificent.

I’ve never really had a set of headphones that were durable enough for me.

Since i just got a new cell & use it pretty much as my .mp3 player, i’m rockin the BB 8900 phones that came in the box. Hope they last a while. Wish me luck.

Maybe when i get settled financially i can go do some research and nab me a decent pair, but being a Hip Hop head, using whatever u got’s always been my thing.

Peace & blessings!

I love my Sleek Audio SA1 High-Fidelity Siam Rosewood Earphones paired with the Sleek Audio W-1 Wireless Earphone Transmitter. These are great ear bud headphones, they have a removable/replaceable cable and wireless transmitter that can be recharged on any USB port. They are a little pricey (@ $165 US) but produce great sound. There is a cheaper (@ 90$ US) alternative made by DigiFi that work relatively well also.
