What are good headphones?
Well, I currently have a pair of Sony MDR-V150 headphones, bought them for $40 Cdn a while ago. They're nice headphones, very bassy when you have your sound adjusted, get pretty loud and all. I find them kind of cumbersome though. That's just because I'm picky though.

So anyway, I used to have a pair of rockin' Aiwa HP-X222 headphones that I loved. Unfortunately, being from Aiwa they were kinda shitty, durability-wise, and broke after about a year of owning them. I tried searching for that same pair again but no stores I could find had them, and online I had no luck either. I think they were discontinued or something. But they were hot, really big headphones, fit really comfortably, awesome sound output and bass, and even a nifty mute button that was pretty much useless but fun. The cord only came out of the left headphone (as opposed to the ones I have now with cords coming out both earpieces) and it was I think a 10' cord so it was quite awesome in that respect.


Anywho, I'm looking for a new pair of headphones, but don't really have any idea what brands/models are good. I figured I should start doing some research, and I guessss getting some opinions wouldn't hurt, so hook it up.

I've used Sony MDR-V300s for 4 years now and haven't had any problems. They've had a really really hard life as well.

If you want quality... Go For sennheiser. But it'll cost ya

Look at these

My dad bought those, he hardly ever uses them so I use them. They have excellent sound quality being that it is Bose. Their home products are pretty good and so are these headphones. Bit steep for $129 but I think if you want something of superb quality you're going to pay that. Pretty durable as well, and comfortable.

Price isn't a HUGE concern, but I want to be reasonable. Not gonna spend like $400 on a pair of headphones (I'm looking mainly for something for just listening to at home and on my MP3 player, nothing extravagant)

As for the type, I prefer the uh.. I dunno cup kind I guess.. I had a pair of those like... ones that go behind your head and kind of wrap around your ears and all. I dunno they weren't bad but felt too flimsy or something.
