I listen to music all day at work. Right now I just have a pair of cheap over-ear headphones. I’m looking to spend 200 dollars or less and want over-ear style… Right now Im trying to decide between the BOSE for 140 dollars, the Sennheiser for 170 dollars, or the SONY MDR600 for 70 dollars. Any input? ---

I have headphones you will love. They look great and basically the effect of them is earplugs with speakers inside of them. I got them at radioshack for 20 bucks. I love them. Hold on 1 second, I will get you the link for them. ---

Skullcandy for the money are really great, I love mine. Bose FTW, they make a fantastic product, but for headphones I feel that’s a bit much. ---

I agree completely, I had an old set that sounded like trash even compared to the stock Ipod ones, but the technology has come a long way with all of them… ---

I’m telling you, these are nothing like the plastic housing earbuds you are probably accustomed to. For 20 bucks pick up a set for on the go or something, wouldn’t hurt to at least try them. ---

Anyways sonys Studio headphones are really good but a bit on the pricey side I just ordered a set of Grado SR60’s over ears… Best headphones for the money IMO without spending over 100 bucks… ---
