    Sony over the necks "MDR-G52". Cheap and picks up a decent range of lows and highs. Off the shelf @ any record store. I'd stay away from KOSS. The bass response is good, but they always feel cheap and break quickly...at least the 3 or 4 pair I've gone through.

    Thanx, right now I was looking at a pair of Seihennser, they look pretty solid and from the reviews, the sound seem pretty nicely packed after a couple hours of burning. Appreciate the responses.

    Bose is definitely the top of the line when it comes to headphones. The only drawback is the price you have to pair for one of these pairs. Needless to say, their upgraded sound system look very nice and I am tempted to get it one of these day. Thanx again for the response.

    I have a pair of Sony MDR-V6 studio monitor headphones. They're great [ :)] Haven't broken on me yet and these things got good sound quality, and it keeps the music in and the noise out pretty good too.

    SONY
    Fontopia® Headphones
    MDR-EX71SL/WK

    Upgrade your headphones with the super-light in-the-ear design of the MDR-EX71SL/WK.

    $ 49.99 (US)

    "Your digital music player and or laptop needs headphones that can hang. The MDR-EX71SL/WK are a step up from standard headphones, delivering premium sound with superior bass, all in a super-light in-the-ear design. The classic style, white with silver and gray accents, complement a wide range of portable audio players. The super small 9mm drivers make for a comfortable fit, and include the sonic isolation of soft silicon earbuds. The package includes three sizes of earbuds to accommodate a full range of ears, a 400 kJ/mã a Ultra-High-Power Neodymium Magnet, a hard carrying case, one meter extension cord, and an earbud holder."

    Yes!!yes...they seem pretty spendy but, I've tryed just about every kind out there. Some hurt your ears, others won't stay in or just are too balky for their own good. Slip These babys in and you'll almost forget your wearing them. But you won't forget the sound quilety. Since their 'In-ear' they block outside sound and shoot the audio striaght into your Inter ears[:0](Sounds scary, but Its all cool[8D]). I don't know much about all that 'frequency response' crap, but I do know what sounds good , and the bass is kick'in (Really..for once) and everything else is clean and tight. They look good on you too (People don't seem to know their in most of the time!). Just buy them try them out. (...That will be $53.00..sir...[V]) If you don't like them return them. But..you will! I promise[^].

    p.s. I forgot...I got'em in right now!!
    (No.. I do NOT work for SONY®. But would like to and will gladly take any offers with...let's say a Dodge VIPER® attached. Blue please.)[ ;)]
