They cost me about £2 or something. Do the job. I don't care much for high quality music, I would notice the difference yes, it's just low quality (well, these aren't actually that bad, very good considering the price) doesn't bother me. Only thing I care about is whether they can stay in my ear for long periods of time without falling out / annoying me, which these don't.

these are my favorites. i have several pairs and i've had them for over 10 years now. 1 pair just got replaced by koss for free after so many years.

For my 360 I use Turtle Beach x31's with the Earforce DSS. Works great but occasionally I get a lot of static with them, but I need wireless headphones for gaming
The Turtle Beach x12's were a gift from a friend and since I can't use them at home I keep them in my dorm and use them to listen to music, work pretty well.
For my MP3 player I just use w/e headphones came with it.

I also have these but don't use them often as after a couple of hours they start to feel uncomfortable as they press my glasses into the side of my head:

(Sony MDR XD200)

EDIT: Replaced massively oversized picture with smaller one.

I have this as well.

Bose QC15. Can't hear a thing outside them when they're on. So nice.

 

[AceWarhead]

I got these: Panasonic RP-HV152

They great, don't hurt, and DO have powerful sound. Got 'em for 7 bucks.

Very sweet headset, was also looking into these when I was searching for a new headset.

Hipster too + pretty awesome headset you bought . Probably way overpriced though, but I guess it's cool and handy!

I've got Rocat Kave 5.1 for hardcore gaming. AMAZING, best 70 euros (yes, that cheap!) I've ever spent, fits very nicely, music/sounds incredible, headset is cool too, love that you can mute any sound/thing. Impressive!

Got these ones for casual gaming + music, laying upstairs. Does the job.

These are only for music at the moment, when I'm going to work/school, pretty decent.

Nothing Beats the Beatz.
By Dre & Gaga. Best headphones are the Beats which are the cans? But the HeartBeats are in ear, noise isolating and portable so I reccomend them to anyone who has $200 to spend.

 

[PolloDiablo]

this is what I use for recording purposes

Like you Vvotls I have been interested recently in high-quality sounding music rather than the crap I had before. Been looking to buy a whole new audio system for my car (imagine these in a cherry red [yeah, cherry red] Chevy Aveo xD).

For home usage I use my Turtle Beach X41's on my PC with my new RCA cable

For school and on the go for now I use some Skull Candy Ink'd which sound alright and everything, paid like $11 for 2 pair during black Friday! Although unfortunately one side of the last pair broke so...I cut it off

Right now I'm saving up for some In-Ear Beats by Dr. Dre (as over the head are rather annoying to me and bulky) although I have been wondering about some alternatives. Does anyone have any recommendations for some In-Ear headphones that are $100 but sound as good/better than Beats?

you can't be serious. dr dre beats can't compete with headphones in their same price range. for half the price you can buy Shure or Grados which a re a mile better, but they don't pump so much money into marketing as bose or monster.

at least do a bit of research.

 

[Zerosuit connor]

Nup, Honestly the heartbeats have the best base I have ever experienced, and I did heaps of research before I bought them.

Thats Just my opinion, no need to start a war.

I have to admit that opinion seems to be shared by true audiophiles.
But for what they do, I think they are worth it, specially since you can get them refurb for 180, which is what I payed.

Personally I think the Beats are great, there seems to be a crowd that really doesn't like the brand, strictly because they claim the hardware does not deliver the quality of sound they claim for what they cost; I think they are great because by being so main stream it has introduced a lot of people to a better quality of sound, maybe not the quality of premium/technical headphones/earphones but it is undeniable that they sound way better than the pair or white earplugs every iPod ships with. They make people spend some money on better headphones, I think that is an achievement.

And also, let's not be hostile, I think this is a good thread to show people and let them know what do you think is the best headphone/earphone; just remember this discussion is heavily is based on personal tastes.

This. A thousand times this. If you think Beats are the "best" they're either the only pair you've owned or you have harmfully messed up ears.

I got some PX21's for gaming and the others are not worth mentioning.

 

[Domination]

Not a very high end user, these are pretty good for me for now. But I would love to get better earphones, maybe over-ear ones. But I love in-ear ones and they are pretty much all I've used.
