Perfect Portable Headphones

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm searching for the perfect headphones, any suggestions...

Criteria:

1) No in ear (they always hurt with extended listening/fall out all the time)

2) I like the kind that clip/hook on the back of your ears, but I'll make exceptions for amazing sound.

3) Cable length is important (has to be at least my height 5-6 feet)

4) Durability is important

5) Sound especially bass is important

6) I will pay $$$ for the perfect phones.

I use these right now...

Which I bought because a previous model which looked like these but had better bass, and a nylon cased long cable (the cable on these doesn't even reach my pocket) was the best pair of phones I ever had.

What are you going to use them for? Koss SportaPros are decent for sports. Good bass too - almost too much.

I generally have 2 sets of headphones at any given time...

1 pair of studio phones for playin bass and listening in my room (which also need replacing but that's another thread) and 1 pair for iPOD listening on the go and at work (I'm keeping the ones I have now with my laptop in case I need them)

So I basically want them for hiking/the gym/sitting at my desk at work...

right now my top pick is http://www.headphone.com/products/he...er-pmx-200.php closed ear for more bass/not bothering my co-workers.
