Good headphones to buy?

Something from Beyerdynamic?

They are kind of pricey, but they will survive a 3rd world war

And the sound is damn awesome.

Lots of them out there though, depending what you want. Open, closed etc.

i was planning to make a similar thread...are the Skullcandy headphones any good?

Waiting for these to deliver. Should be pretty good. Bluetooth + Quality + Price. (sounds cool, yeah?)

Marshall, at least I would buy one of these...if I had money :D

I have a pair of Sennheiser HD202, and I am very satisfied with them. I paid 32 euros about a year or so ago. Comfortable, good sound quality, long-ass cable and excellent insulation.

For earbuds, these

I use the Creative Fatal1ty headset and i'm really satisfied with it. With just 20-25$ you get good sound quality, detachable microphone and solid construction even though they are made with cheap plastic.
If you can spend more i always recommend the Astro A50, simply the best headset that i have put my hands on. Otherwise, Sennheisers are always an excellent choice.

http://www.head-fi.org/ is amazing, especially the forums.
I bought these: http://www.head-fi.org/products/audio-technica-ath-m50s and have been happy with them.
I ripped a cheap headset apart and took the microphone from it and duct-taped it to the M50s

I've only had 3 headphones so far, but I'd suggest Denon AH-D1100.

Akg k550 are probably the best choice for the price. Not as bassy as Momeuntums, but superior in detail and sounstaging. Paired with Creative Titanium HD made me sell my Hd600, tube amplifier and Micromega Cdplayer (each separately worth more money than k550 + TitaniumHD combined). Sound in games is amazing, positioning is ten times better than in "gamers choice" Sennheiser HD595 I used to own.

Isolation is near perfect for a passive pair, comfort is good BUT you have to try them yourself and see if they fit you, especially if you wear glasses. Some heads are just incompatible with these headphones. They need a good seal to sound amazing and isolate well.
