Headphones, what kind do you use? Options

[jennyjenny]

So what kind of headphones do you use for your md/mp3/cd/etc. player?

I have these Sony earbud ones that I bought a couple years back. And I currently use these Sennheiser ones that came with my iRiver.

But I've been using my mp3 player a lot lately, and my right ear hurts now probably from using those earbud headphones.

And the quality from earbud headphones aren't that great :-\
So what do you use and are they good?
Are you planning on getting new ones?
What headphones do you suggest that aren't too bulky so I can carry around, but have good quality?

Thanks.

nice, wireless. so i take it your headphones need batteries?


i have AKG K 26 P headphones. they're quite nice, seal out sound. i wish they were behind the neck, but oh well.

40 bucks from headroom.

it is THE best pair of headphones in the 0- 150 buck range in my opinion. i haven't tried many others in that range, but these AKGs manage to have very good bass without distortion. I don't use bass EQs anymore- the headphones play the bass back truer to life. no washed out bass.

very very nice portable headphones.

even if you can afford high end grados, i'd suggest getting a pair of these AKGs for travel.
