    Hello,

    My headphones I currently have are not working as well as they use to, so I am looking into like buying some new headphones.

    Anyone know any good brands ? Sony? or what?

    Please tell me if you have good experience and what kind :)

    (I only use them for music, or listening to people talk, no gaming)

    Thanks veryyyyy much!!! :):):)

    SOUND = SONY
    I am curretly having SONY headsets which i brought from E-bay
    They really rockx
    movie,music or even game ....

    Philiphs or BOSE headsets are also good choice'
    but i think sony and bose are both costly

    I would recommend sony, i used to work in Radioshack and never had any issues with Sony headphones. People go on about how they are a bit more expensive than others but trust me they are deffo worth it, coz it will save you from all the hassle in future.

    Bose would most likely be the best, and probably most expensive.

    do you go on subway or other noisy place? if yes, you should get ear bud instead of headphone (unless you want to pay 300 for those noise cancellation bose headphone)

    I love my sony ear bud..it is around 100 buck but it worth it. don't ever buy bose ear bud..i bought the tripod and it is junk

    Most Sony and Bose BLOW (anything you can buy at Bestbuy or Circuit City is trash) The Sennheiser's listed above are good. If your budget is under $100 usd get Grado SR-60's. Read the reviews, they are the best sub $100 cans you will ever hear. (Some people say best under $200)

    What do you need it for? if for General Purpose, go with any normal ones, But if for Real Action then SONY all the way.

    go with BOSE! It is simply the best.
    But if you are budget-conscious then go for sony minimum
    Philips sound quality is bad

    Go for BOSE!

    Last year I got a pair of headphones when I was flying out of Heathrow, they cost roughly $180, but they were worth it.

    They are so good!

    "Shure" makes great earphones. Pricey but worth the money!

    I have 100$ BOSE earbuds!
    AMAZING for music, but the odd shape makes it tricky for them to stay in if your running or something...

    No no, I have stuff for when I run and going places and stuff.

    What I need is just really good headphones just for the computer, like these will be used for computer only be used to listen to music and hearing people through the computer, NO games or anything.
