my travel a-jays broke up, thus I'm going to pick up UE 600vi's in hour or so, I hope they are better than 500vi's. :/

Received my SRH750DJs few days ago, they sound awesome. But the comfort... 
The headband becomes practically flat when I put it on my head.

I feel the same way with my 750DJs. The sound is ridiculous, but the comfort can definitely be better. That's why I love my P5s. Extremely comfortable.
So far so good on the AKG Q460. They play well through the iPhone with good, tight bass. Like all headphones, they're capable of more than what they'll do through just a portable device. They punch really hard when connected to the headphone jack on my desktop speakers. But they're not anemic connected directly to the iPhone by any stretch.* I have a pair of Grado SR60s that I don't use any more because I don't find them comfortable. These are easily in the same class. Different for sure, but in the same class. Very clear, good frequency response, and so far, comfortable. I think they are not as "bright" as the Grados. That might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your tastes. They don't sound "dark" to me. I have broad tastes in music from blues and jazz to 80s rock to pop/rock.
*As an example from some recent pop music, I have the iTunes "deluxe" version of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream that has some of the club-like remixes on it and the bass hits pretty hard. I also have Bela Fleck's Cosmic Hippo (told you my tastes are eclectic) and the bass is deep and stays clean.

Yep, P5s are the most comfortable headphones in the Apple Store. But the SRH750DJs are way too small-- I wonder whom Shure designed this for. My 8 year old sister needs size max as well.

OK, I'm sorry, still no picture of headphones, but I went to the Roosevelt Field Apple Store on Long Island today (went to Best Buy near Columbus Circle last week) and from their headphone selection, I think I really like the Klipsch and the Aviators.
Out of two stores I've been to, both have had a pair of Beats where one of the drivers (is that what you call them?) is completely dead, so I cannot consider those at all, I just know they are most likely to break - they also make a lot of noise for everyone else. I hate hearing the beat of other people's music, so I always try to factor this in.
I found a marked difference in sound quality between my Stupid Epic 4G and Apple Store's iPod Touches, iPhones and Shuffles, which is interesting. All of the Apple devices sounded a lot better.
So on pay day, I think I may get the Aviators, as they look better, IMO, they sound just a little better than the Klipsch and have a better cable. They also fold, which is important to me for when I get to work if I have to work on site with a client.

Finally gave up on earphones after breaking the cables on 3 pairs within a month. Decided to buy some fairly inexpensive Bluetooth headphones. Ended up with the Rocketfish RF-MAB2 headphones. Good sound and no cords to break! Best in quiet environments though, since there is no noise reduction.
Do those have controls on them?
I just bought these Motorola S305s (which do have controls) last week....they're even more inexpensive.
So far I'm happy with them, but I've only used them a couple of times.

EDIT: I returned them. Even at full blast, I could still hear background noise. And the bass was non-existent.

They're lovely
And I got them fo' free! Won a contest. I've never been so excited before.
Grado 325is. Currently have a little dot DAC_1 on order as my emu 0404 usb is not compatible with OS X Lion. Plan on getting a mapletree ear+ hd headphone amp to go with the DAC, since it has great synergy with Grado headphones.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50s
Absolutely love them, flawless headphones. Would recommend them to everyone, perfect for all types of music.
^ what are those SchneiderMan?
my wife would love them
These are the Incipio f38
Sorry, not sure when they'll be released oddly enough lol.
I posted this question in the iPhone Accessories forum, but I thought I'd post it here as well for more exposure:
I currently own and use the Ultimate Ears MetroFi 220vi earphones and I'm thinking of buying the highly-touted Klipsch S4i earphones.
Does anyone have experience with both of these earphone models? Is there a point for me to get the Klipsch S4is? Is there a noticeable sound quality difference between the two sets?

Has anyone tried out the Soul Ludacris range of headphones yet, I am looking to replace my Beats Solo, and was considering a set of Beats Studios until I came across the Soul Electronics Range endorsed by Ludacris. I am looking at the 150s on ear, but slightly bigger than the Solos. I tried out the SL300s today in FYE, but to be honest, $299 is a bit more than I wanted to spend. Trying to find a store in the central Orlando area, who have the SL150s in stock that I can try on before deciding. The apple store don't appear to have them, although they are on the apple website. The stock that FYE had were sealed and the staff weren't prepared to open a set of SL150s for me to try, they only had the SL300 out of the box.
Just wanting to know if anyone had tried the SL150s yet and what do they think ?
