Rarely ever use headphones since I don't have to worry about bothering any co-inhabitants with a chunky set of speakers, but decided to retire my Audio Technica AD700s because I just couldn't get used to the bulk. Disappointing because I bought them as replacements for my equally massive but somehow much more comfortable Philips HP890s (which I retired after a few years of running repairs using superglue and electrical tape). No complaints about the AT sound though. Replacing with a pair of Alessandro MS-1s which are basically a modded version of the Grado on-ear phones like in the opening post of this thread, haven't received them yet though.

 

 

For my portable player I use the venerable Koss PortaPros which have been manufactured with basically no design changes since 1984. Love them to bits - and under $30 imported (vs $100 local retailers are asking for....).

Since I pretty much only use headphones rather then speakers, I had to get some decent ones when mine broke over christmas.

 

Picked up a Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset, and dang, that's comfortable to be wearing for hours at a time. Full over-ear coverage, and the sound quality is good. Haven't gotten around to using the microphone for anything yet.. but the rest is all good.

For my computer I have a pair of Logitech G35. They are awesome. The look kinda big and they feel heavy when lifting them up, but they aren't when on. Great sound and great features (although I find it kinda odd to have a red light shining as an indicator that the mic is off, for me shining light means on. But that is just a nitpick).

Anyone know of any decent, comfortable wireless headphones? Preferably something under $100, but that might be too hard to find.

I need to replace my PC151 - getting ragged, that headset's got good reviews and a decent-ish price too. Will have to give that a look
