The Personal Headphones Thread
What pair do you own?
I have had a pair of Sennheiser PX 100s for just under 2 years.
The wire is screwed (I've had it repaired over 3 times), so I need to buy a new pair of headphones.
Not sure which ones though. Looking for some ideas.
Sony MDR 7506s are amazing.
Sennheiser HD25s as well.
Mind you, these are DJ/Studio headphones, but they're not as big and bulky, and they sound ridiculously nice.
edit, er... nvm, these are probably aren't best suited to your needs and what you're looking for if you're looking to replace the px unit.
BOSE ftw!
Seriously considering the bose...need a new player though for music as my blackberry is dying and the storage card on it has never worked.
Luftwaffe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
had these for the longest time. great cheap pair of headphones. $30
I've tried so many kinds - including a $100 pair of seinnheisers (sp?) - but these Sony ones are indestructable. They come with several different size buds so you can get a perfect sound seal in your ear. I've never had good bass in my headphones until I tried these. I love them - and they are really affordable.

still my fav, even though they're not mine they seem to live at my house
heavy bass heavy awesome
zero usefulness for day to day though
These for $110 @ Sony Store. Had them for two years. Padding is worn from all the sweat and the adapter is cracked. Love them for their light weight and crisp sound. Lack of bass drivers makes for tighter mixing I find.
Was gonna replace them but the girlfriend bought me the Denons for Christmas. I like them. They're loud but still offer crisp sound with good bass and the passive noise cancellation is excellent (much better than the 7506.
We'll see how long these last me. At least I have 2 that I can interchange now. Based on price point though, I think I would rather get 2 7506's for the price of the Denon's. Probably will get the Sennheiser's next
funny enough....I don't own a pair of headphones.
Still immaculate after more than 15 years

I use a pair of AKG in-ear monitor buds both for just listening to music and when playing out. It has amazing sound quality for a decent price
3 people I know bought the same pair after listening to the difference in quality.
at home: SONY MDR-7506 with Beyerdynamic a velour padded earcushions mod
on the go: Head-Direct RE0 IEMs
i have these, sound quality is great but they tend to slide off your head when you look down.
sucks about the senns g, i know how excited you were when you got those.
OMG Bang and Olufsen insta jizz...
On the go: JVC HA-FX66 in ears....very good.
At home: Sony MDR-7506....just bought them a week ago and no complaints so far but I dont have anything to compare them to.
i had 2 pairs of px 100 so when the first one broke (wire too)
i bought another pair and just ducktaped it in those spots when it tends to go loose 3 years still going strong now
i've also had pair of hd 25s and those things can take some serious abuse, a bit pricy for just listening though
Senneheiser HD280
A bit cumbersome at times, I'm considering getting the HD25s.
If you're looking for ear buds with excellent sound, the Shure E3C. I use them at the gym mostly. You can find them online for about $150.
Try them side by side against the Bose and you will have no question.

Are you talking about DJ/Studio headphones or personal (subway, streetcar, everyday) headphones?
DJ - I've used Stantons, Pioneers, Sony's and the AKG's and by far the best were the AKG181
Still have them after 3 years of regular use and I'm pretty hard on them. Only thing I've had to replace is the cord which is detachable anyways.
Personal - I started with some basic JVC's from The Source for $12 then won a pair of the mentioned BOSE ear buds earlier in the thread and I'll be honest; sound quality, not a lot of difference. I know everyone preaches about BOSE and noise cancellation etc. but there wasn't a big difference with between the JVC's and these. Also I lost of one of the rubber ear-bud ends and they're now garbage. Went back to the JVC's and havent' looked back. Sometimes its not about the name brands ya know? Also I'm talking only ear-buds. For those of you who aren't using them and are still using the horrible ipod (white) headphones change'm up, others don't care what you're listening to while you're killing your hearing.
