Thanks for the insight tdockweiler.   I actually ended up picking up the Onn headphones from Walmart. They're nice for $40. I'm not crazy impressed though. They are super compfy indeed. I'm not so sure about the signatures. These are the first open cans I've ever used and they leak way too...

Hey guys,   I'm looking to purchase a new pair of cans. I have Sennheiser in-ear buds (CX-300s) that I've used for quite some time but don't really want to use those for in-house purposes.   Couple of details; these headphones I purchase will mainly be used with my computer and my iPod...
