After 3-4 years of using Apple's old squishy in-ears, I realized there are probably much better options available.

So I did some research, and apparently Grado SR60 headphones are the absolute best you can get for the price, being extremely good all around for only about $70 retail... after like 3 tries (kept forgetting in the last 5 minutes) I got some on eBay cheap, so I'm excited to see how they are.

Are you an audiophile and if so what are the best cans you've had?  akudood;

creative in-ear somethings
I forgot the numbers that came after it
For 15 dollars they work as good as the 50 dollar ones. n___n

but they break so easily ;_;

the bass is awesome  giggle;

I have some great Koss PortaPros n_u

I love my default Zune in-ears.

I used to love those, but they sound like listening through a funnel compared to my new ones giggle;

I had some excellent headphones that my dad used when he was a landscaper. He listened to music while on a lawn mower, so he had an amazing pair of headphones, basically. They were $200 5-6 years ago.

but he decided he wanted them back so now I just have the stupid default zune ones and I hate them. ;-; I'll probably buy some more in the next few weeks.

I use the ones that came with my iPhone since they have the microphone and controller built in.  Otherwise i'd use something else.

What's wrong with them? The sound quality sounds fine and i love the magnets on the ends of them giggle;

David, i think you have the premium ones that came with the 80s, while she has the crappy ones that come with the 120s

even if they were the premium ones, which I've seen, I'd hate them.

I've had those, they're okay.  as good as PortaPros which are only $30-40 and not as big.

i bought a pair of these at walmart for $10
for the price i'd say they're not bad at all and they're pretty durable

I got these for my birthday.

Amazing quality.

I'm cheap so I have some pair of ten dollar in-ears. They're about the same quality as the default iPod headphones. I liked the iPod headphones, though, but my fucking sister has broken both pairs I've had (gone through two iPods). Not an audiophile here, as long as the quality isn't shit it's fine by me.

Mine are black, not sparkly.

I just use the ones that came with my MP3 player. I don't really care what kind they are as long as the sound quality is excellent.

I need new ones. Mine keep screwing up because I keep getting the wires pulled and I end up only having sound on one side.

can tell you right now if you think any default headphones' quality is good then you haven't heard real headphones.

think of hearing your favorite band in an orchestra hall (with acoustically designed walls and such), with PERFECT live mixing, pristine clear lows, buttery mids and sweet highs, and perfect acoustic resonance. this, in your ears, is possible even with mp3's, with good headphones, and you won't hear it from no included in-ears

I dunno, they look pretty weird, I like the memory foam and how lightweight the Bose's are.

PortaPros are pretty comfy and very lightweight.

I also have a pair of these:

They're pretty good, kinda lacking in bass but making up in clarity and little to no distortion.
