I have an iphone 4s and the apple earbuds are not that good for me. I found some headphones and I can't decide what to buy. I want them to have great sound quality, great noise cancellation to be comfortable and great bass. I also listen to a lot of indie rock and garage rock. Here are the links and I want to choose from these 4:
http://www.engadget.com/products/skullcandy/50-50/ I like how they look:D

http://www.engadget.com/products/sennheiser/cx/300/ii/

http://www.engadget.com/products/sony/xba-1/

Moderators, I hope I don't break any ruls by posting any of these links, I am not trying to advertise these products. Thanks!
 
I'm not a Skullcandy fan. But they are inexpensive enough for you to get them and see if you like them.

I have these, wired. Or a similar model - have had them a couple of years and love them. Can wear them for hours and feel no discomfort.

I have these, bluetooth. And I really like these at the gym. No more getting hung up on machines!

Save your money and get a good pair of Etymotics and turn up the volume. They are worth every penny.
 
If you are considering the Sony XBA series, I don't recommend the XBA-1. To get the most out of the balanced armature technology, you'll want at least the XBA-2, and preferably the XBA-3. That's where the individual drivers really shine. There's also the newer XBA-H1 that has hybrid units.

If you don't mind the loops, the XBA-S65 is currently on sale at Sony's website for $24.99, a real steal for sports-oriented headphones.
 
I have been rocking some jay birds bluebuds X. THEY ARE AWESOME. Great range and awesome sound for stereo Bluetooth.
