    Hi, can anyone recommend any fairly decent headphones or earphones with a volume slider? I really don't need a $300 pair, in fact I'd like to not spend more than $100.
    Any recommendations? :) Volume slider is a must though. :)

    Ok thanks, I'll check those out. :)

    Edit: Hmm, they both come with microphones and look a little bulky. :( I'm just looking for something for occasional movies, games, and music. :)

    I'd suggest the Razer Piranha. If you think it's bulky, it isn't. It's a rather small pair.

    I just got the Carcharias. Just delivered this morning. I have been wearing them when not in school and they are VERY comfortable.

    I know you don't need the mic, but it stows out of the way with a 270* swivel.

    Have you checked out the logitech clearchat range? Some of them have volume control at a decent price

    I have a cheap pair of Sony earphones with a volume slider. While more than adequate, the bass is a little lacking. I wanted something with a little more emphasis on sound quality/bass, but really a volume slider is a must.
    I'll look at the logitech, thanks flipfire. :)

    Razer Piranha looks good, but take a look at Sennheise or even logitech

    I'm guessing you walk every where because the smart-car is too bulky to park?
