BEATS BY DRE are deff #1 in my books lol the sound is amazing you feel like you have speakers all around you. A lot overpricy tho
fixed
At $1149.00 you must have money to burn...
Ha. Yes, I know it looks that way. Truth is, I burned more money cycling through less expensive headphones than I spent on the 16s. My problem is that I am a Ph.D. student who needs music to study. So, as you can imagine, I spend a large part of every day plugged-in. I found properly fit customs are absolutely non-fatiguing and never lead to the dreaded "so deep only a sharp pencil can scratch it" ear itch. Plus, JH audio is nice enough to include a hearty potion of magical sonic perfection in each monitor they make.
So there is my justification. Trust me, I recite it to myself every time I am reminded of the price I paid!
JH Audio JH16s.
those are awesome, when those first came out i was able to listen to the universal set (testers). I actually have met Jerry a few times at some headphone meets.
My next move might be the JH13s with the amp =) I have to sell off all my old headphone gear to afford it haha.
I just started using sound id 510 bluetooth for both music and making and receiving calls. A bit pricey but I get a huge discount through my employer.
Ulitmate Ears customs here. Yes, they do cost a lot, but one of my sets is about 7 years old already and still working great.
PS: Sorry, but I can't remember where to put the "t" to reduce the image size--tried a few places but it just screwed up the link. Could someone remind me?

I've been using the Sennheiser Adidas PMX 680i headphones. The sound is good especially if you have an EQ to play with; I turn the EQ off on my iPhone, and they stay put when running/exercising/hiking. The headphones are also waterproof which is great for those who spend time in the elements and sweat a lot. They are not an IE design, however, for me, they create a seal inside my ear and sound very very close to an IE design. Another nice feature is the volume/mic/iPod remote integrated into the chord.
Haha yeah but honestly I'll tell you this much compared to some headphone prices people are coming out with now; the beats seem like a good deal to me
I'm looking for some good headphones that have a mic and sound good. Only looking to spend <40 if you guys could suggest some that'd be awesome. Thanks.
I hear the Meelec M6's are pretty good. Might be a good match for your price range.
I got a pair of Klipsch Image ONE's and I am loving them. Great sound and the in line mic works great.
for the price these can't be beat
they block noise fairly well they really stay in my ears too

Sennheiser HD25-1s for over a decade. Love the durability, honest sound, wide frequency response, potent output, comfort (except in heat where they can get just a wee bit sweaty). I find them good for monitoring too when you want to check on headphones. But what I love the most is how they INSTANTLY exposed the vastly inferior sound on the iPhone 4 compared to my original iPod 160gb. Apple ear buds are completely unusable.

Got myself A-Jays Four today from Jays store, so far so good, waiting how much better it will get after burn in time.

Ehh, that's because they're audiophile quality. Beats isn't audiophile quality
1+ just ordered my set should be here towards the 1st of the week. I here they need 10-20 burn in and sound is supposed too be better in the three. hope I love them if so I might reduce my IEM collection a little. I was attracted to the looks, Company rep, features and cost.

I was told by Jays girl that it takes more or less 10 hours of burn in and audio quality then is "about" on par with three.
It took them while to find person who can speak English with me in the store tho
(I didn't even bother trying spanish or finnish) Swedish people I tell you..im in the market for ear buds too, and i like the ones with the control module, just wondering if the beats by dr dre is better then the Jays and these astro gaming?
