Very few of the phones I have heard sound better than Triports. Those that do are much less comfortable, cost way more, and sound only a little better. I reccomend that you stick with Bose and just get a new pair. (Personally, I am going to try A900s to see if they combine equal comfort...

I was being perfectly civil right up until I was falsely accused of trolling. I started out merely making a suggestion within the OPs price range based on my experience. There was no reason to get jumped on for that. I also had older Triports to start with. Then I started reading about...

I have yet to hear any phones under $200 that sound better than Bose Around-Ears (and none over $200 that sound a lot better.)

I will not be buying any cans in 2010, or ever. My headphone journey has led to the conclusion that Bose Triports sound as good as anything else to me, and are way more comfortable. I have now sold all of my other phones except the GMP-8.300Ds, and I am posting those today. The Bose are...

I have owned many headphones ranging up to $700, and all of them highly rated. I have now sold all but my GMP-8.300Ds (which I may also sell) and my Bose around-ears. For $120, the Bose do everything I need, and easily equal the performance of the much more expensive ones I have tried.
