I'm very interested in these Sol Republic headphones. (They have earbuds too, if you prefer.) The thing about these is they were made by people who worked on the Beats by Dre headphones, and wanted to make a similar quality headphone that wasn't so ridiculously overpriced. I've heard very good things about them.
you know what I want? ear buds for the office with a loooooooong cord, because I am sick and/or tired of them being yanked out of my ear when I move my chair.
well guys i only just bought a cheap pair of earbuds (30bucks) with a mic/remote for the iphone, a set of black urbanears ear buds. http://www.urbanears.com/headphones/bagis
just for the office and for the bus ride in the morning. so far they are comfy, block almost all of the noise (and in my office that's impressive) and sound pretty good. over all, not bad for 30 bucks.
i am going to look for a new BIG pair though, i'm thinking maybe grado s60's or some new sennheisers. anyone have any good feedback on either of those?
I had a pair of Grados once. They sound good, but I found them to be warm to wear - they don't breath especially well, at least in my experience. Also, they have approximately 2834792874 feet of cord, which is awesome if you want to listen to your stereo from the kitchen, but not so much if you want to go for a run.
@erica - so far so good! they arent the best earbuds i've ever had, but they seem pretty durable and are comfy. and they sound pretty good as well! not the best i've had, but for 30 bucks with an in-line mic, that's a good deal.

Do I need to mention they should be durable?

I've never actually tried Grados or Sennheisers, personally, which is weird, considering I'm a music guy.
@skanko - so the urbanears are good? I was looking at those, but then somebody said they weren't reviewed well, but I was like BUT THE COLORS!
