Any Audiophiles Out There?

The "ear bud" style is a no go for me, I have yet to find a pair that stay in my ear. I must have Jenna Jameson ear holes.

LOL, well a lot of the more expensive IEMs have multiple ear bud tips. You just have to keep trying until you find the right fit.

That's what she said.

I'm thinking about investing in a quality pair once I have some dough saved up. I've used earbuds since I was in high school and had to sneak a piece in during classes, and I estimate with all the earbuds I've had to buy I've spent in the neighborhood of 2-300 bucks of the 10-20 dollar range earbuds (never bought the more expensive ones) since the cheap ones I buy usually break after a couple months. I kinda figure it'll be worth it since the quality ones usually last a lot longer and also provide better sound, but I've never gotten around to it because I either didn't have enough money or needed a quick cheap pair of earbuds while on the go.

Which brand of headphones are the best if you don't want ear buds? I'm not a big fan of ear buds simply for the fact that I've lost a lot of hearing over the years listening to my music loudly.

I wanted a pair of over the ear phones, picked these up and I've been impressed so far. Good value for the money.

I got these a few months ago...I'm very happy with them. Noise canceling feature is not the greatest out there but they get the job done on the metro/plane.
