    I seem to be lost, what are the top dogs in terms of price / quality nowadays?
    Different web-sites seems to suggest COMPLETELY different headphones ><

    I would prefer if it somehow had a mic (even if its wired) and docking station — my friend got Senheiser and docking station looks way more convenient than plugging cables.

    Anyone got Skullcandy PLYR1 or Revo? Those seems to be leading my charts, although PLYR doesn't seem to charge from docking station which is silly.

    I have the Jabra Revo and like them a lot. A very nice feature they have is that they can be used as USB headphones or connecting the supplied minijack cable. When connecting the USB the batteries get charged also and using the minijack cable they work even with empty batteries or turned off, so that they don't drain the battery.

    Sound is a very personal matter, I like it.
