Post your headphones

I love the design of Dr Dre headphones, sound quality is also very good.
I don't care about the hype or anything, I went to the apple store, tried a few other headphones and I liked these best. I also liked the new retina Macbook Pro and I got it too. Don't understand when people say: oh, this is so overpriced, you can have something "better" for half of that money. So? I want THIS, and if I can afford it, why not? Isn't that also what some people say about mac users, why buy a mac if you can get a pc for half of the price?

One of the reasons I purchased the Beats Wireless was because of the built-in aptX technology. At first I couldn't get it to work on my 2010 MBP with Lion or Mountain Lion but after reading a post in the Apple forums on how to enable the aptX codec in OSX, I now have them connecting with the aptX codec instead of SBC...definitely improved the sound quality of the Beats.

A few more features the Beats Wireless have include an outstanding BT antenna as I can walk around the entire house without losing connection or having any kind of sound degradation. These things seem to go nearly 50 feet before cutting out. It is also great to have the flexibility to use the red cable to go "wired" when either the battery is low or you just want to go wired. I find this lacking in any of the Bose Quiet Comfort headphones (which I actually like and use when traveling by air or rail). Lastly, the battery seems to last forever. My Altec Lansing/Plantronics Backbeat 906's are very nice workout style bluetooth phones that sound fairly good (especially with the bass-boost enabled) but the battery doesn't last NEARLY as long as the Beats Wireless and the BT antenna isn't very good as a simple turn of the head sometimes breaks the BT connection to my iPhone on a clip around my waist. Disappointing.
I know people hate on Beats and I agree with some of it (although if somebody likes them I would never disparage them), but these are very nice sounding BT headphones for my ears especially using the aptX codec (I really didn't know BT headphones could sound this good)...I hear the Sennheiser BT phones are Quite good as well...

Great headphones. Only complaint is that they are a tad bulky.
 
Got these for when I want's some good sound quality. They sound great, but not the most comfortable.

Still rocking this bad boy. Puts a smile on my face all the time. All I need to do is upgrade my DAC and Headphone Amp setup, and life would be even more grand! :)

Shure se210: Which I never use because I don´t have a cable for it. Or rather the cables I bought either were faulty, or smelled awfull. Yay for burnt rubber smell. I think I will go and just buy directly from Shure.
I am certain it will work, although they kinda wear down quickly. Last one I had didn´t last 6months. Gone through 2, and heard complaints about the cable on amazon.

BOSE QC 15:

Koss Porta Pro: Well I got the receipt for this one and gonna keep it will. My 4th set of this. I saw that they changed the cable, so hopefully it will last a while this time.

How do you like them? I have the Polk ultrafit in ear headphones but want cans.

I like very much. I have a HUGE head and they fit comfortable. The sound is epic along with the noise cancel on. If you have the money to spend, go ahead and buy a pair.
 
$30.00 Phillips Headphones

I use these when I travel, they stay in my ears nicely, and sound pretty decent, if they break they only cost $30.00

Let's just say the Bose doesn't even stand a firm chance. CK10s are neutral and produces the most accurate music the artists intended. Fast pace, sweet, crystal clear treble. The bass is substancial in quality, not quantity.

PS: as a joke, BOSE is an acronym for Buy Other Sounds Equipments.
 
I sent back my Sennheiser HD 380 Pros and picked up the Bowers & Wilkins C5 IEM. The 380s sounded great, but were too uncomfortable for me. I'm runing the C5s with a FiiO E10 DAC/AMP and the sound is fantastic so far. Can't wait for them to burn in. :)

I usually just use the basic earbuds but I use these sony noise canceling headphones on occasion. They get the job done.
