I need some new headphones. My Apple ear buds have gone to shit, yea those things last about a year before something fucks up. I want some earbuds, but I don't want the in-ear ones, not my style. Any suggestions?
Headphones for everyday use
" @Chuggsy said:Holy shit man, I looked it up on Amazon, and they're going for 40-60 bucks! That's hardly cheap. Not to mention they're in-ear." I prefer Gumy. Not only do they come in awesome colors, they are comfy and durable. Not amazing sound quality, but definitely not bad. And they're cheap. "Ultimate ears makes a cheaper model now called the Metrofi series. Audiophile brand, but really affordable price. "
Plus they don't even come in purple or yellow! :O
I have a set of Ultimate Ears buds if I want something that fits in my pocket, I have Noise cancelling Senheiser travel headphones for plane trips, 5.1 surround Acoustic Research wireless headphones for wearing around the house, and a set of Sony wrap-around headphones that I wear at the gym. Out of all of them, I kind of like the Sony $30 wrap-arounds, which is crazy given that the others are all technically far superior. I've had them for like 7 years now, but they fit nicely, have good sound, and I can wear them at the gym without them getting in the way or falling out of my ears.
Here they are...
I use these.
Great sound quality and noise cancellation, and you can find it for around 80/90 bucks, but maybe you aren't looking for that level of quality/price.
Edit: If you don't want to get noise cancelling headphones, you should probably go ahead and buy this:
Koss PortaPro
I bought these at SFO a couple of weeks ago and it works for me at a good affordable price.
" I use these.Ugliest things ever, but I've heard the sound quality can't be touched by headphones ten times the price.

I love my Sony MDR-V500s. I've had them for about 5 years now and they're still wonderful. Comfy, great sound, and they swivel, wheee! They used to go for around $100 but they've dropped over the years and you can find a pair for like $50 now.
They are DJ style headphones so they are a bit bulky, but not as bulky as many other headphones out there.

" Anything but Skullcandy, if you buy them you will have labeled yourself "Ultimate faggot #536024806834". You don't want to be called a faggot do you? "You speak the truth sir
" @ahriman22 said:Lol, yes. Go with Sennheisers, I suggest 202's. They're over ear headphones and my god, for the 50$ price tag, they're absolute beauties. If you want an "insurance" policy (They all come with 2 year warranties from manufacturer), you could go with the 215's. Those cost about 120$, over ear too and they have detachable cables."
