Mostly they will be used for the Ipod and also watching movies (plugged into my Onkyo Receiver). I am not very familiar with what brands are good. I do not need $500.00 ones either.

The ones I have been looking at are the following:

Bose around ear:

Sennheiser Audiophile:

Phillips noise cancellation:

Also no need for the ones that go into the ear as they are pretty uncomfortable.

Any suggestions?

You can check out Etymotic Research but they are earphones, not headphones. The sound is quite amazing though they are not the most comfortablt as they go in your ear. The plus is that you can play at very low volume as it blocks out the noise. I like to use them for flights and on my commute to work (on a bus).

As somebody else mentioned, I would not consider the Bose. I never really liked their speakers but I did try one of their ear phones and they were bad. Didn't block out any noise and the rubber ear piece that fits into your ear fell off the first day I had them and I never found it again. It was one of the worst $125 spent.


forget the Bose, I tried one of their
