True. I see a lot of people complaining about that. Every time I go to Best Buy, the Beats are the only headphones either cracked, or falling apart.
I got some sennheiser hd 202 headphones... Not sure If a total audiofile would love them but their sure better than skullcandys and to me they are amazing sound quailty and range. The best part is they are only like somewhere around 50 buks! I highly suggest these to people who want some good over ear headphones but don't want to shell out 300 or 400.
ATH-M50's

Fiio E7
how do you like the E7 amp? I just got a pair of M50's and am debating between the E7 and a NuForce amp
I like it a lot.
I can't comment on the NuForce amp but I can honestly say that the E7 did make a difference.
The M50's sound great out of the box unamped imo but the E7 added a nice little kick to it. Not that the M50's were lacking, but the amp did make them sound very, very nice.
I have the E7 on Bass Boost 3 and no distortion whatsoever.
I was extremely pleased and surprised and how much you get for the price for the E7 in terms of sound quality, build quality, and all the extras you receive. Rubber band to hold your devices together, carrying case for the E7, two screen protectors, usb cable all nicely packaged.
This was my first amp so I am no expert by any means. Hope this helps and hope you make a decision soon!
I've used Shure E5c's for years and they are still going strong.
Recently while on a trip, I picked up the B&W P5's and love them. I'm aware they are shunned by headphone nuts, but I find them to be perfect for me. They strike a great combo of comfort, noise isolation, sound quality, and portability. If they were any larger or heavier they would rarely get used, since I primarily use them when traveling.
I'd also never use an amp, so I have to have something suitable for iPod use.

The desk picture is from my dorm--I've since graduated, but still have a similar setup:
Thinkpad T60p -> HeadRoom Micro DAC -> Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S. Caliente -> Sennheiser HD650
I also have Shure E500's, but they are currently out of commission because the cable broke. I'm sending them in for replacement soon.

These are one of my favorite headphones, the yuin pk1. Why take pics of some generic looking buds? They retail for $159
The most amazing jaw dropping sound signature. Robust! They need to be amped to really flourish though because their are 150ohms.
Recommend a good amp for the pk1's? Thinking about picking them up - to use with an iPod classic 5.5 at work and for travel.
Bought these last night - so incredibly impressed with them.
good heaphones but your probably paying 25 % of the money for the beats by dre brand name and logo. THese are great and yes, i do wan tthese but i know I could get the same quality phones for 25% cheaper or more.
You pay a premium for aesthetics (and for some people - myself included), sometimes that's worth it. We're all Apple users here, paying a premium is an old hat for us.
i bought myself the Stretch headphones, impressed so far, just need a portable amp now
One of my favorite headphones at a good price too.
Yummy in my tummy!!
Got some ajays to, they are amazing! and cheap.. just as good as the beats by dre..
