I tend to buy things that are multipurpose. So I am a video editor, but I also game. Solution? Razer Headset.

Currently i'm using these, not the best fit for gaming on PC, but they were never meant for that, i bought them for my phone and soon after that my headset died, never bothered to buy a new one. At least these are more durable than anything i ever had.
Yup. People used to tell me this all the time because I used to listen to my music through the same headphones that came with my ipod. I didn't know what they were talking about, but decided to entertain their bitching anyway. I bought a pair of cheap $10 Sony earbuds to try and the moment I turned on the ipod I was like...WAT!? OMG!!! Then in a fit of madness I went out and bought the $70 Sony Earbuds, and then turned those on and was like O_O!!Vault101 said:Bleeaaaghhh!!neonsword13-ops said:The original ipod headphones.
Why? Because I love being a cheap bastard.
its like trying to hear your music underwater through a tin can..no wonder kids thease days have the volume high enough to deafan all within a 50 mile radius
Music can sound good, who knew.
Seconded. Koss is motherf*cking awesome.Pebblig said:Now, at the moment I'm pretty happy with my current headphones.
I bought a pair of Koss PortaPro headphones about a month ago, and they are FANTASTIC. Considering their size, the quality of sound is fantastic and could easily rival a pair of cheap Sennheiser's. They've got a lot of bass and only cost £17! They also come with a lifetime warranty and have been made the same since 1984.
So, what about all y'all? =D
With that said, as someone who has started DJ'ing, they're useless because they're open, and to DJ properly, you need a set of quality DJ Headphones. So i went with Pioneer HDJ 2000

No, they are very good actually, but price:quality ratio is far too high. You can get the same quality with headphones that range in the $150-200 range, some even cheaper. Like I said, you pay for the name and the looks, which I am pretty happy with.brainslurper said:
What I look for most in a headphone is durability, design and sound leakage prevention. Quality to me is not that important, because most of the music is listen to is 128 anyways.
i use sennheiser hd 280 pro for everyday comfortable use at PC (i only use headphones when i'm on PC).
and for music at home and on the go i only use Equation RP-21 they are so awesome!

They were pretty much announced about a week after I bought my Razer Megalodon headset for about 150 euros. It's weird, the Tiamat is being advertised as their first 7.1 gaming headset, but the Megalodon is 7.1 and if it's not for gaming I can't imagine what else it's for. I suppose it's portable (on account of being very light), but it doesn't actually fucking work for anything other than gaming on account of the weird Maelstrom audio box that's attached to it. I'd say that the Megalodon was worth it (they are really, really comfortable and the audio quality is great), but there's pretty much nothing in the way of insulation for audio going out of the headset. You can hear it on the other side of the room.iBagel said:
These bad boys are amazing. You don't even have to turn any music on and you speak about five decibals louder. Quite an experience to behold.
As soon as I saw that second pair of headphones I did a double take at the name and lo and behold, my good sir Pebblig you cheeky man.Pebblig said:

These WESC bad boys at the moment:
Soon to buy these, Razer Carcharias, when I can:
For my phone i use the Sony Ericsson ones which came with my Xperia Arc since they seemed better than the Sony ones i had before them, and as for my computer it's Sennheiser HDR110 great sound quality and probably the only set of headphones which will last longer than 5-6 month since there wireless, i find myself forever having a dodgy wire after a while with wired ones.

iPod headphones that came with my iTouch. I don't upgrade cause if it ain't broke don't fix it.
They're not top of the line, but they have good sound quality, and decent isolation. They run about $100 Canadian or so now. I've got a pair sitting next to me at the moment actually. I've also got a set of Audio Technica ATH-M40fs which pull double duty as headphones I use for mixing, and ones I'll plug into the surround sound when the wife is asleep because the cord is absurdly long. Great set of headphones that I've had for a couple of years now and have served me well.Aidinthel said:
I tend not to use any headphones with my PC for general use/gaming though, going with a set of Bose speakers I know nothing about that my dad gave me. The sound quality is pretty good for what they're used for. I usually prefer a set of headphones, but my desk was cluttered enough without another pair lying around. If I do use a headset, it's usually a cheap one bought just to have a mic to use.
Everytime I buy nice expensive headphones, they break in a month. I've had these cheap Sony headphones from Wal-Mart for about a year and they still sound as good as when I first bought them. Suprisingly good quality for ten dollar headphones.
I generally use ear buds (I tend run through them like like you wouldn't believe), but currently, I'm using a pair of DJ-style headphones.
