    ^ i love my IEMs but i hate it when my friends ask me to listen to my ipod because i read on head-fi how someone's IEM sound quality degraded after their friends listened to them.

    and another bad thing about good IEMs....once you get used to them, you can never go back to apple buds or cheap iems.

    I have a pair that I use for just listening to music, but when I run they tend to fall out A LOT more that the earbuds do.

    Type: over the ear headphones
    Budget: $50
    Musical preference: almost everything, rock, metal, pop, rap, hip-hop, electronic, R&B, a little country...
    Headphones preference: good bass, but not drowning
    Any other details: i was looking at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DS4HTM but i wasn't sure about audio quality? cuz they look freaking comfortable and they're pretty cheap too. and this is half for gaming too. i also used to have a pair of skullcandy hesh but those were really uncomfortable and the adjustable band snapped so i would prefer not to go back to skullcandy

    Type (In ear/On ear): Over ear
    Budget: max $200
    Musical preference (What do you listen to?): Rap, Dubstep, Electronic, House
    Headphones preference (Quite bassy, detailed, warm, bright etc...): Bassy
    Any other details: I was originally looking at the Studio Beats by Dre but after reading head-fi, it's seems they are really worth the money. I liked the amount of bass in them but was also put off by how badly they leaked.

    I currently use the Lil Jamz in ears and want these to sound better than them xD

    Trust me, you WILL NOT be dissipointed. I own these, and dub/rave/trance sounds absolutely orgasmic through them.
