    If you were to say in-ear earphones I'd say Skullcandy's. I have Sony V700DJ headphones though, they sound great but there are likely some better deals around for less (I paid ~300 about 5 years ago, so they may be cheaper now) :)

    I use Altek bluetooth earphones. Works well and no wires so I can move about. Range is about 15' max. They are less than 100 bucks at Frys.

    Who gets their headphones wet?

    I had a pair of MDR-V700DJ's years ago, sound was excellent, but comfort was only about 6/10. The hinges eventually broke... and I moved onto Technics RP DJ1200s, which I've been using ever since. They're easily the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, they sound 95% as good as the Sonys, they're kinda compact, and are incredibly good value (half the price of the Sonys).

    Haha. When I worked a retail job I remember Panasonic being very good value for money, so it doesn't surprise me the headphones are pretty much as good as the Sony's for half the price.

    Sennheisers are crap. I got stuck in a loop in the 90s and kept on buying them. They're VERY comfy. But they start falling apart the minute you take them out of the box.

    My dad has 2 pairs of HD 650s (retail $500+ in AU), and I honestly can't hear the difference between them and my cheap $100 Technics. The Sennheisers are slightly more comfortable, but then again, they're HUGE and cumbersome, and there's no way in hell you'd wear them while walking/gardening/cooking/whatever.
