I went through alot of headphones over the years but these are the far best ones I used, just bought some Skullcandy Crushers and Monster DNA...they are awesome. I listen to alot of music so I just want to know which ones did you buy and comfortable with? How did you prevent the wires inside the from breaking so they wont fuck up?

I use the $20 Sony headphones that you can buy from Walmart. The first pair I bought lasted two years. They only broke because I stepped on them on accident lol. I got a second pair now. Great headphones for a good price. If I had the money though I'd buy me some $199 Beats.

Yeah those are pretty good, I used to own those the ones that Eminem used in 8mile. I like it b/c it has a thick cord and less likely to have the wires bent. Yeah the beats are good, The Monster DNA I bought were 50% off at best buy, cost $99 original price $199.
 
I just purchased some Grados iGi earbuds, they sound fantastic, however they are very pricey at 90$ (average).

I recently just moved into my college dorm, so in order to get them to fit back into the box they came in, I coiled up the wire like a snake and they both fit back in nicely. Pulled them out of the box from my stuffed backpack and they still operate just fine, no kinks or anything.

I had a pair of Audio Technica ATH M50s and they were fantastic. Lasted me a good two years before the headphone jack finally bent. Those are some good headphones. I bought them at around $140.
 
My ipod headphones are heavy duty! They got washed, dried, stepped on, grinded on. They still work. (Has a small audio defect where it isnt as loud.)
I also have beats that work perfectly fine after a year.

Planning on buying a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50s. From what I can tell, they're the best pair of headphones right under 200 bucks.

For anyone looking into buying some cheap portable headphones, you should look into the Koss KSC75. 15 bucks and a lot better than shitty Apple earbuds.

I heard the earbuds that when you pull them to extend it and when you pull them again they retract so they go back to normal so they wont mess up as much, have any of you used those types before?

I actually really like the current iPod earbuds (the ones with the volume/pause buttons on the wire). Decent sound quality, comfortable, and my pair has lasted me for like 3 years. I have 4 reserve pairs and I haven't had to dig them out ever.

What a way to start pissing ppl off posting a picture with that racist bastard right there...
Pay him no mind lol.
There's ways to correct people without being such a douche bag about it.

But thanks for the picture on how to wrap headphones. I just hurdle them up and throw them around. lol

Got the Beats by Dre 2.0 a couple of months ago and they are amazing. A lot better than the first versions imo. Pricey but definitely worth it.

I use my amazingly amazing Bose MIE2. They are expensive (more than $100) both worth every penny.

The sound quality is astounding. I have been using them for about a year now. I use them a LOT (6-8 hours a day on average for the entire past year) and they are still pretty good. The wire got a tiny crack recently and I freaked the fuck out. But I have used a tape and covered it pretty good and it's well-protected now.

They come with a protective case which I always use. I don't leave the headphones outside the case when I'm not using them.

Skull candy are awesome. I had a $40.00 pair with bass boost but I lost them. I'm using the $20 skull candies now because I'm fucking sick and tired of Apple, and other brands breaking for no reason. I went through 3 sets in the last year.

Scarcity = Profit. It's a sad age we live in.

Yeah, the companies specifically make the earbuds not last very long and break easily so you can go and buy another pair.
