Audio: What headphones do you use?

[Pebblig]

As soon as I saw that second pair of headphones I did a double take at the name and lo and behold, my good sir Pebblig you cheeky man.

Internet salutations to thee good sir!

Yup. People used to tell me this all the time because I used to listen to my music through the same headphones that came with my ipod. I didn't know what they were talking about, but decided to entertain their bitching anyway. I bought a pair of cheap $10 Sony earbuds to try and the moment I turned on the ipod I was like...WAT!? OMG!!! Then in a fit of madness I went out and bought the $70 Sony Earbuds, and then turned those on and was like O_O!!

Music can sound good, who knew.

I know! It's absolute madness. You don't even realise what you're missing out on until you hear the same music on a decent sound system or headphones.

The Skull Candy's were my first pair of large over-ear headphones. So sound wise the quality seemed really good, as they actually had bass. However, my brother had a pair, they broke kinda easily and felt flimsy. I still have them, but the audio has gone in one ear.

At least in USA, SkullCandy will RMA any break. I'd talk to them.

However, I mine are EarForce X11

The signal to noise isn't the best, but I got it for $30 USD, and it works on several platforms. I have some Skullcandy for portable usage. Turtle Beach used to be a №1 name in the business, and they're still pretty good.

These bad boys:

Audio Technica CK400i. Granted they're not brilliant, but they're not bad for the price (I got them on eBay for less than £25). I want some top of the range Audio Technica cans but I can't afford them

The original ipod headphones.

Why? Because I love being a cheap bastard.

Bleeaaaghhh!!

its like trying to hear your music underwater through a tin can..no wonder kids thease days have the volume high enough to deafan all within a 50 mile radius

I know...even the cheap ear buds sound like top quality Audio compared to THOSE....you cant hear anything, especially in a car

I use the Audio Technica ATH-M50 Headphones on my PC

The CX-270 for my MP3 player.

For vinyl I usually use my dad's Pioneer Monitor 10, but they're kind of heavy (0.5kg) and the general experince is of putting a helmet on your head, even though the sound is awesome. I have Sony MDR605, but the part with the speakers had a foam cover but over the time it basically fell apart (like it actually started crumbling into dust), still they're pretty good even though they're open air.
And for on the go needs I use AKG K314P, but they're kind of large and even though I have big ears they still get uncomfortable after longer listening.
