    Mine are pretty good quality, not the best, but more than adequate Philipses. I don't know what it cost, I got it from my father.

    Mostly though I listen through speakers (huge and old and I love them), and when out of the house, in-ear headphones. A cheap pair now because my Sennheisers are falling apart. When I have the money I'll get some new ones with better sound and more wearing comfort.

    I use my big headphones mostly behind the electronic drum kit. I usually forget to use them when just listening to music, and it's not really necessary either, we have pretty good isolation in here.

    Im in LOVE with Skullcandy brand headphones. They really aren't all that expensive and they last for years! they have some that fit right inside your ear with this rubbery soft stuff, and you cant hear anything else besides your wonerfull music!

    i really like the ipod headphones, they fit nicely inside my ears, and they sound pretty good. but when im inside or trying to relax or something, i have a set of big headphones that my little brother got with his fender bass amp that i really love.

    i may have to wait until i or a friend
    go o/s again

    Wow, I'd never heard of that brand before. Slick-looking things, but a bit too lavishly detailed for my tastes, and for something that's really not all that expensive, they ARE pretty expensive. *is poor commie student :(*

    I bought some ridiculous Bose headphones after Christmas when they were on sale. I paid $150, regular price was $299. I have to say that I LOVE these headphones, though I could never afford $299 for a pair. Even $150 is pricey for headphones, but it was a Christmas present to myself...

    Headphones are the best way to listen to music!

    thanks for that^


    i had forgotton about department/retail stores ans sales
    you certainly scored a bargain
    Do the buds stay in your ears?

    Before christmas i came across
    a pair that were$600...i was blown away

    and yes, certain music like Pink Floyd
    needs earphones

    if i buy a decent pair, i will have to be
    careful. i have been known while gardening
    to cut the cord while pruning a plant:)

    Mine are wireless/rechargable. They cost me $99 at bestbuy 3 yrs ago. made by a Co. called Acoustic Reasearch. Pretty good, but range is limited to about 20 feet or so depending on what is between. (Any steel you're hosed!)

    Hi Ava. I've tried earbuds and while they don't fall out of my ears, I always seem to lose the silicone plastic earbud, which makes the headphones worthless. I quit the earbuds, the phones I have are these...

    I do like 'em!

    BUY EXPENSIVE...
    I have a pair of Ultimate Ears 5's which i spent about 200 bucks on. They are earbuds but seriously i hear shit in songs i never new was there. Everything is so clean and powerful and you hear the instruments around you.
    Its a really good investment too. If you have an ipod you spent 300 bucks on that. I listen to music hours every day. I figure if you use them enough just spend the money and dont look back. Seriously money is quality.
