I have Shure SRH840's for gaming, movies and music. Easily the best headphones I've ever owned, and more often than not I'll have them on my head whenever I'm at my flat. I also own a cheap pair of earphones for my everyday commute -mainly for podcasts. I cannot seem to make them last for more than a year, so I'm wary of spending too much money on a pair.
What kind of headphones/ earbuds do you use?
I just purchased a pair of Sennheiser Momentums and am loving them - to an extent. They are a little warm sounding for my tastes (imagine the sound difference between vinyl and CD and you have an idea of what I am talking about), but other than that they are the best closed headphones that I have ever heard.

Hi5 - I used to own a set of 840s, and they were fantastic. It seems we have the same problem with in-ears as well.
But yeah, seems like most of the guys who've posted here are rocking some pretty decent cans.
I like being able to move around. I think they're better than the Logitech wireless clearchats I used to have.
I had a pair of Sennheiser earbuds that were Adidas branded and made specifically to take a beating and withstand a lot of sweat. They were basically made for runners. I got them because the wiring was kevlar-coated and I have a tendency to beat the fuck out of my earbuds. They were and still are durable as fuck. Only thing is one day I woke up from being blackout drunk and one of the earbuds was ripped off the wire. I'll pop one earbud in while I'm at work and weave it through my sweatshirt so my boss doesn't see and they serve their purpose. Otherwise I use the generic Samsung ones that came with my Galaxy S3. I wanna save up and get some Bose ones when I have the money. I've broken two pairs of Beats earbuds already, fuck those things. Blew the speakers on one set and the wire got fucked on the other one. Conveniently neither were covered by warranty.
For my walking around times: I can't find the specific brand, but they're Sony earclip headphones.
For PS3 and 360: Triton 720+
For my PC: World of Warcraft Sound Blaster Headset. Horde plates in, of course.
Sennheiser MM-100 they are exactly what I need functionally for walking the dog / working out / driving.
Beats studios. Everyday use for over a year now. I think they sound great but they are far from a great set of headphones. Having to go and buy batteries on a regular basis sucks and having to manage rechargeable AAA's isn't a whole lot of fun. Not worth full retail at all but if you can make friends with a monster employee (while monster was still making them) and use their 75% discount, they seem like a buch better buy than the AKG K272HD or Audio-Technica ATH-M50. In hind site i should have paid the extra €50 and gone with the AKG or AT's
Sennheiser HD 518s and for what theyre going for i have to say im a little bit disapointed..
His and mids are somewhat lacking and the bass aint that great unless you boost it with equalizer.
Still looking for the best value/performance headphones.
When im out ive been using Koss Porta Pros for years now, and theyre just great. Highly recommended.
