I have decided on the Equation Audio RP-21s myself, though I'm at a loss as to where to get them. However, the Audio Technica line looks good and seems to have support behind it. It also looks easier to find.

Thanks, ericj, I really appreciate it. But what's a CC? Perhaps it does not matter, a money order can be acquired. Edit: Never mind, CC=credit card; duh. Sorry.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to aid in getting a pair of Equation RP-21 headphones they trust and then mail it to me as I mail them the check for whatever it cost them (including shipping). I really want the headphones but I can't use a credit card online (mommy won't let me ). So...

I'm getting a Zune this Friday. I recommend it only because I'm willing to convert all the music I have (and redownload a ridiculous portion of it as well) to v0. Besides, they look awesome. I'm getting the Halo 3 edition of it. Really, it's got a cool screen and that whole wi-fi thing will pan...

Sorry Mr. Kees, I didn't intend to "sound" the way I think you perceived me to. I only meant to clearly state exactly why the MS-1 seems to be a good bet from what I'm hearing. As for those Equation RP-21 headphones, I have already considered them from hijodeltiger's list. They look very cool...

I discard them because they aren't endorsed by as many people as the MS-1 headphones are, Mr. Kees. I've looked at the rest and have decided, based on what others have said, that my taste in music is best fit by the MS-1 headphones. And, to tell the absolute truth, I find that the $100 price tag...

So, the Alessandro MS-1 is the best suggestion you guys can give for sub-$150 headphones? Nothing else sounds as good for the money?

BASSHEAD mod!?!? What's that? I thought you could deal with base before it gets to the headphones on your computer or your MP3 player. As for volume, I usually hate hearing other people's music leaking out of their headphones and so do not do that myself. I have the volume at less than 50%...

I'm thinking I'll be listening to music everywhere and anywhere. But, to that point, are closed headphones better than open ones or is the reverse true? I've read that open headphones are better than closed ones. As for the type of music I listen to: Metal, Rock, Classical, Hip-hop, Pop, Rap...

Hi, I'm that friend who's asking about good headphones. Right now I'm thinking that I don't really want in-ear headphones because of my smaller-than-normal ears. *part of list becomes dust in the wind* So far the Alessandro MS1 seems to be the best sound for the dollar, but the style gets to...
