    Sony Professional headphones beat the hell out of Bose is sound quality.

    I've taken the Pepsi challenge in this regard.

    Not the same model, but I wear Radio Headphones just about everywhere.

    Only problem I've had is reception could be touchy in certain indoor places.

    I have a pair of Skullcandy "Ink'd" earbuds. They have good quality sound, cost only $30 and come with those little silicone nubs that help keep them snugly in your ear and block out interference.

    I got them to replace my Sony earbuds and I couldn't be happier with them.

    These are the headphones I'm using at the moment, and they sound absolutely lovely.

    Although the cable for mine are mangled, so for now I'm cursed with a pair of Skullcandy 'Skullcrushers'. They look sexy but sound like dicks in my ears.

    And pfsh, earbuds.

    Earbuds always seem to cause me discomfort. After about and hour it's too painful to endure...maybe the silicone ones would work.

    Skullcandy buds are fine, their over-ear ones seem quite tinny (I've only tried skullcrushers, hesh and lowridas god why did they give their headphones stupid fucking names).

    Yes they will. I had the same problem (also the hard plastic ones fell out all the time).

    I have to correct myself. My earbuds were $20, not $30 and came with 3 sizes of silicone nubs.

    They do a good job for the price.

    I like earbuds because I can put them in my pocket and walk around town listening to the ipod. My earmuff-style headphones kept breaking in my backpack and were far from compact.

    Don't worry Sara. I got black ones to match my iPod. They sound just fine. THese dudes are too busy being all pretentious to know what's good for them.

    They do not have to be under $50. But they do have to be durable.

    Oh god,

    I love full cup headphones with a passion!

    Still rocking Ministry of Sound DJ phones (jeebus price) from 6 years ago and they still kick ass but i'll be looking at something lighter (Bose full cup) sometime soon for video work.
