I have never really liked in ear headphones just because they never stayed in and weren’t that comfortable. I dont know if its just because i have only tried on a couple cheap ones but i was just gonna stay away from them, maybe my next head phone i will look into them. The HD 280 comes 1/8" and they give you a 1/4" adapter not the other way around ---

Yea the Grado SR60/80 do leak audio in/out but they do sound good. If you are doing extended periods of time wearing the headphones you might want to look for a circumnaural (around the ear) instead of a supernaural (on the ear) so your ears don’t fatigue. After a few hours with the SR60s my ears hurt but I could wear my QC2s all day (did for over 6 hours yesterday, straight) since they don’t push on the ear. > [@BuickGN](#): > > lol are you suprised? People can say Bose is expensive…well it is…but for the QC2s nobody is allowed to anymore since _Creative_ (the masters of cheap crap) came out with a freaking stamped copy for the same price.

expensive and shitty, thats the difference. Bose is nothing but marketing, and marketing crap is not something i buy into. ---

In order of preference Sony MDR-7506 Goldring DR-100 Grado SR60 (not enough difference between 60 and 80, just get 125 for little extra) Sennheiser HD-280pro [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/good-headphones-for-around-75-100/44009.md?page=1)
