[Gus 5]

if anyone is using iPod headphones, stop immediately and buy yourself a different set. You will thank me.

Great present ideas with xmas coming up

btw I have no vested interest, I just wish I had bought mine sooner! ipod headphones are horrendous

ipod headphones arn't that bad but because i used to game (counter strike) i have a pair of sennheiser HD555's, there amazing, there stereo headphones that have such good clarity, they can also be used as desktop speakers with no distortion, really anything sennheiser and over $100 is really decent, but in the car i always end up listening to the engine

Koss portapro....FTW.

Nothing else comes close.....not even my $700 Bose QuietComforts can match the sound quality the Koss' offer.

Dammmmm, those Koss Portapro are ugly!

When wearing them it will look like you're wearing a neck brace

Shure make the ultimate ear buds with multi armature drivers for proper component driven sound that is flat and not smily curve n00b eq settings.

Meh.

I use Grados SR-325.

Then again, I don't bother with an Ipod

Sennheiser wins

Yeap they are good for sure, but there are better headphones are these days.

[Cale 36]

I have Shure SE210 and Sennheiser CX500 and the Shure wins hands down. Little expensive but you get what you pay for.

I would love to get some Shure SE310's.

Apple need to sort out themselves in the headphones department.

Ive got enough friends thanks

Ive only had Sennheiser's for a wee while. Bought them after reading raving reviews on nzice from other fellas that have used them. Love the mid bass from them. Tool - The pot gets my juices going

Tool FTW.

Another vote for Sennheisers...have had two pairs are awesome.

[cainchapman 0]

Blackbox for me. They are awesome.

And they are an NZ product.

Haha I have a couple of pairs of sennheisers, and skullcandy headphones, much prefer the sennheisers.

[Guest SamSpargo]

I use Sennheisers when I DJ, but really really want a pair of Allen & Heath Xone XD-53's. Yum yum yum.

For out and about use, Koss is very much the win.

Edit: Friends of mine in bands swear by Shure SCL5's when they're on stage. Amazing monitors apparently, though I've not tried them.

I use Sennheiser HD 212 Pro's for guitar practise, HD215's for Mixing/Recording.

SkullCandy G.I Headphones for music at work and Skulcandy Ink'd for mp3 player out and about.

I find the Skullcandy stuff abit heavy, a bit too tuned for bass response I'm thinking.

Some good deals on Skullcandy headphone packs at Telecom stores. Like headphones with a 2gb micro sd card and card adapter.

Doing the SKullCandy G.I headphone pack for $119.99 and the Low Rider headset pack for $89.99. Good for just listening to some tunes, in no way high end.
