Goood headphones?

[qutorial 10+ year member]

I want some really comfortable headphones...some with a soft rubber insert and the rubber hangers that go around the back of your ear.

Anyone have experience with some really good ones? Here's an example in case you don't know wtf I'm talking about.

I use the Grado SR-60's. Great value, comfortable, excellent sonics. Here's a review:

I ended up getting the Sony-MDR-EX81LP's from the link.

I looked at some of the suggestions. I was worried about the normal earbud versions...they always ended up hurting my ears after long use. And the cushioned over-ear versions always hurt the outsides of my ears.

But these sony hanger buds are actually really nice, I'm happy with them. The bass is GREAT.

At first the left bud didn't fully create a seal in my ear, so the sounds were lopsided as the bass only worked on the right side...but after a few days I changed the rubber part to a larger size (they provide 3 different sizes) and now it's perfectly fine.

I recommend them.

I like my bose tri-ports earphones. Not the best, but good enough.
