Hello everyone, I have found a love for over ear headphones too much to resist anymore and thus am wondering what kinds of headphones everyone uses to better make a choice in my investment.

I am leaning toward Skull Candy Gi's. but i have heard mixed things

Opinions? suggestions?

I've only got Sony's (?) noise-reduction XD And the base is nice, but its sound quality is horrible.

I want to buy the GI's too, but...I need more opinions as well.

XDD I'm glad I'm not the only one with this dielema :I

I really am sick of crappy headphones so i saved up enough for them but alas i do not know if they are worthy of my money. though they look the part though XD

The best balance between money, quality, and comfort I've found so far have been the Sony Studio Headphones. They're $25-$30 at Best Buy.

Oh same here. I love my sound out spider headphones...I cant remember the brand right now for the life of me but paying $132 for them tells you they rock...

My day job is as a professional audio engineer, and I can tell you... headphones have diminishing returns. There's a big difference between $5 headphones and $30 headphones, but the difference between $60 headphones and $100 headphones isn't as big, and the difference between $100 and $200 headphones is probably not worth it. The improvement in audio quality compared to the price just doesn't match up.

Yeah i know but most of the younger generation now adays goes for style more then anything and thats what you pay for.

I really like the Skullcandy GI. I've also got lowriders so I can choose <3 But my favorite are my big black ones - especially in winter! Perfect earwarmers! xD

Personally, I prefer earbuds, because my ears hurt when I wear headphones too long. The Skullcandy GI looks really cool though.

bose is always best, but so expensive, and skullcandy has pretty good quality and some have the option of a bass booster, which is nice.
my preference though is zumreeds. the headphones are amazing but ive had issues with the jack and cords integrity.

I go for earphones and it usually depend on the price of the earphones, which I got my phillips nano color ones from Supertarget for $7 and it give out great quality sound and crispness (i like treble more than bass; bass makes me sick XP)

The only preference I have is that they aren't ear buds.

I have ear problems and ear buds really hurt.

i get the comfort ones so it's not scratching my ears

I prefer headphones that don't mess up my hair, but I'm extraordinarily hard on ear buds. As a result, I have a pair of over-the-ear-and-behind-the-head headphones. Those things have been tough.

Yeah, Moonkin bought a pair of REALLY nice earbuds. I'm impressed at the sound they can put out. They're surprisingly comfortable, too. But like any earbuds (or earplugs) the pressure does eventually start to get painful.

Interesting, owo im not so much a fan of earbuds anymore as i have a habit of breaking one earphone somehow, but my headset for my computer hurts after a while from them pushing on my ears :I
