It's pretty safe to say that we all enjoy music, so how about it. Do you prefer ear buds to real headphones or is it the other way around? Do you use Apple, Beat, Bose, Koss? Tell me, how do you like your music???

I used to always have the white apple earbuds but they kept stolen.:( One day I just said screw it and looked elsewhere. Now I have the BIG, standard black Skull Candies which are surprisingly of good quality. I've also dropped them many a time and they still function properly. Overall good quality and I would recommend them to anyone. :thumb001:

I use these, but only at work.

Right now I own Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (studio headphones). I listen to music only when I'm home.

I use Sennheiser headphones. I think they are best for price/performance.

Just don't use Apple ones which comes with ipods. They are selling their products for 100s of dollars but giving 1$ worth useless headphones with it.

Apple. It's that I got them with my phone, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them myself. I prefer Philips. These ones:

Ewwh, I can't believe there are people out there that would steal other people's earbuds.

Depends on the use. I use these for working out:

I have a pair of Sony noise canceling headphones when I'm flying.

They are actually not thad bad and last long compared to other earbuds I used. It's just that they don't fit in my ear and cost too much.

I use Bose and Koss. I have two pairs of Bose headphones. My new pair work well for separation, so I can hear all the parts of songs at the same time. The Koss headphones are great for bass.

Good choice, I have Sennheisers as well.

KOSS headphones (IMO, second in quality to Sennheiser) I find earbuds uncomfortable.

I am using these Audio-Technica ATH-M50 ones: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/resource_library/product_images/b8d5189d2453aeb7/large/ath_m50_1.jpg

Very balanced frequency spectrum, and you can hear all the fine little details.
Probably the best studio headset for under 200 euros.

I'm a fan of Sennheisers. I used to own a paid of 650 HD with a tube amp and loved it. The 280 HD are good entry level cans and I've owned a few of those over the years. With earbuds I like Shure but they aren't very durable and will snap if you keep them in your pocket or bag. I've tested several and those two brands have the best sound to me. I'm not listening to enough music these days for anything special so I only have Sennheiser mic headphones combo and stock ipod buds.

*Someone said not to use the ipod buds but I've tested them against $70-$80 buds. They're not as crisp as more expensive but they are quicker and more neutral without a farty sound than some others so it's not really worth it unless you want to purchase some $150 or more expensive Shures. Just IMO.

KOSS is generally very good quality. I've never tried Sennheiser.

I'm currently using a pair for my computer that I picked up in Florida. Sony, I think?

AKG K403

They are great quality, though they lack in bass for some spontaneous grind/death-core listenings! :D

I've got some wireless store brand ones. As wireless headphones the sound quality is crap because it's over some low range FM or something. With the wire plugged in the sound is great. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying wireless headphones though.
