I've had good experiences with Sony headphones, and earbuds are annoying in that they tend to fall out of my ears unless they have rubber cones like the ones Reun posted.
At the moment, I currently use Sony MDR-V150 studio monitors: |

Well well well, since I listen to music about 14 of the 18 hours I am awake, I always have to have some sort of headphoneware on me at all times.
My current fancy are these: While not being quite that loud, they're great quality and noise cancelling. I can see myself using these for years. My earphone parallels (That I've been through THREE pairs of already) are these: I dunno how or why they break so fast, but they're LOUD AND GREAT. Functional, and in a nice shade of blue. |

I have two pairs of headphones/earphones that I actively use. The main earbuds I have that I use for just about everything as their my genral all-day ones are the Skullcandy Fix (without the weird cone thingies, they don't fit nor stay in my ears that way). I guess it's pretty obvious what my favorite brand is. I've had the JVC Gummy ones before and I did not like them too much.
My more heavy-duty headsets are what I use for when I'm working with FL Studio to make remixes or any other musical compositions. I do sometimes use them to listen to some music as well, usually Hardstyle as it has some really powerful bass. Last edited by LugiaDialga; August 22, 2012 at 11:43:47 AM. |

I despise the rubber-tipped earbuds. They NEVER stay in my ears!!
For my iPod I use the default earbuds, and for my computer I use a Logitech USB Headset H390. This is the second one I bought when my first one died after a year. |

I'm using the pair supplied with my Lumia 900. I do prefer these kind of earphones - the kind that doesn't go into your ear canal at all. I'm not a fan of big headsets, nor in-ear phones. These are too heavy and uncomfortable, and tend to block out sounds.

Their purpose is to muffle out the noise of the world, not muffle the music you're trying to listen to. If I'm listening to a song, I want it to sound nice, crisp, and clear. I noticed that when I used earphones, a lot of the time I was adjusting them because they were too uncomfortable or the music didn't sound good enough.

Even after they break in, sometimes, it's too much bass that kills th experience. I don't want my music to be boomy. I want my music to be clear. I guess in-ear phones won't do for me. |

There's the problem. Not on my phone or 3DS. I prefer something that strikes a good balance from the get-go and doesn't require further tweaking without messing around with the equalizer. The audio stream isn't preserved by the time it reaches the external output. Besides, some equalizers clamp output...sometimes causing uneven loudness.

As outrageous as it sounds, I use the earphones from West Jet Airlines that I got on our way home from New York. Not the typical super ugly headset with the two prongs, they have REAL earphones you can use with all of your devices. Anyway, they're made of some special wood that is supposed to improve sound quality. As far as I'm concerned, they're the most crystal clear and crisp-sounding earbuds I've ever used. Oh, and they're noise cancelling so while I'm mowing the lawn, I'd have them at less than half volume on my phone (my primary device for music) because I can barely even hear a LAWN MOWER. They're awesome. Best $10 I ever spent.

Now that I've looking at all these headphones, I've always wondered about this: if only there was something high-quality and lightweight...
Guess that's not happening anytime soon. Not that it matters, as the supplied phones are already a great improvement. I think these in-ear earphones are only good at making you hear muffled noises. Booming bass, weak everything else, and you have to make sure that you have worn them in the exact way you want it... the problem doesn't appear with the kind of phones that I'm using right now. |

I've had several pairs of earbuds, and eventually moved on to headphones.
The headphones I'm using now are Sony MDR-ZX100. I don't know if I should buy the headphones that Dr. Dre made...does anyone want me to (the Sony headphones were $35, and Dr. Dre's cost up to $400)? Those are made of aluminum, so according to the website, they give off more bass compared to the headphones made of plastic. I really want to demo these, but I think I'm going to wait a couple years.
