Sennheisser 151.
Paid ~67$

Great sound, it stands on my head almost perfectly.

The ones before were a random 10$ headset, were working good for a year until my dad accidentally pushed them off the table.

I got both Skullcandy Hesh and Lowrider (black gold for the fucking win).

But I recommend G.I., they're very sexy.

Using Sennheiser RS 140

When released, will purchase Sennheiser RS 180

Wireless freedom is great. Best thing is that you won't roll over the cord with your chair eight times per day.

I have a 10 dollar logitech headset that I only use when I need to talk into it
I have 1995 Boston Acoustics speakers + subwoofer that do me well.

For when I'm not around here I have 6 dollar in ear ones from MEE (whatever that is)

I'm not much of an audiophile

I use the earbuds that came with my Zune. Oh baby.

I get new ones about every year. Somehow for me they don't tend to live longer than that (probably because I use them 80% of the time..), so I usually get non-expensive earphones.
Currently using Philips SHE5910

They don't last long because you're using non-expensive ones.

I tried more expensive ones before. Problem is - the cord eventually breaks from all the moving, twitching and pulling. It usually breaks either at the base of the plug, or at the base of the speakers. And from what I've seen - many, even expensive headphones have pretty fragile cords. :/
At least earbuds do. I don't like those big kinds of headphones, although they do have more durable cords.

Man cords are hella easy to replace.

Also, get actual nice headphones if you're having problems with cords. The one on the SR-60 is plenty thick, much like my member when I see your mother.

Yeah, I even bought spare plugs that you could resolder over and over.

But still, if the cord breaks inside the speaker - it's nearly impossible to fix it without breaking the earphone.

And yeah, actual HEADphones usually have better cords, but they're too massive and heavy for me. I prefer something more compact.

I've had so many headphones due to overuse, I just buy cheap ones. So they ain't nothing special.

I am using the Logitech g35

The sound is awesome, especially the bass. It's a little heavy and clampy though, but the noice cancelation you get from this is highly effective.
