Does anyone know any pretty and good headphones (earphones) ?
like...the earmuff kind. not the one that you stick into your ears.
like something casual you could wear around anywhere.
pictures and links would be nice smile.gif

depends on what you are using it for and your budget. (post it and i'll find you something specific)

id go with sennheisers or plantronics, if you have crazy money, go into the bose store.

shure e2cs.

expensive - $100 retail, but u can find it for cheaper...$70 on Amazon.

Bose is overpriced and overrated.

If you go to a dedicated headphone forum..theres a few out there go google, they state the reasons why.

Bose = Buy Other Stereo Equipment

Koss KSC75 or KSC35. You can get the KSC75 model at Radioshack for $24+. Detailed with good bass. Complete sounding for the price, imo.

Sony MDR E888. These earbuds are hefty at $60 at Audiocubes.com. Vocals are smooth as butter (very minor to no "tssss" sounds) and has good impact. With these being earbuds, bass is still not as great as the Koss phones, but with good equalization (I use inverse to lower the tone), it can become better. I use these more often for portable use and also at home. It was worth the 60 i think.

Sennheiser MX400 earbuds. For $15, ya can't lose. Not as forward and bassy as the Sony's, but detailed and inexpensive. Better than my $30 AKG k14p.

Others that i don't have:
Senn PX100
Sony MDR V6
Grado...forgot the model, but i hear its good for rock.

I have the Senn PX100 and they work great.

Sennheiser makes alot of cheap and good quality headphones. Look into them

I have the Sony MDR - V150 studio quality headphones, these work pretty well too.

Triport Boses are known to be one of the best with their three speakers. They're light also and stylish in a sense, but horribly expensive.

I have a budget, I just save up for the ones I want.

Size wise? As long as it doesn't feel like i'm wearing a brick on my head... it's all cool. I generally keep a set of earbuds on me. With my new Nano <3

It's the red 4 gig one.

I have the silver BOSE headphones. I love them. I duno why people don't like them =/ I can't live without them ..and I have pretty sensitive ears too.. They're perfect when I travel (I must wear them on the airplane). But yeah..they're pretty much good for anywhere. I think they're cheaper now compared to what they used to cost. Go check them out at the store ~

try the sennheiser px100. it's around 40ish on amazon. It's great with portability and you'll be surprised at how good the sound is.
