Klip-shh?

Those Etymotic's look great so I think I'm going to have to go with them especially as they have a microphone Thanks a bunch Joey

Just wondering if you have any experience with these headphones and what can you say about them?

Also like I said I wanted a mic too. Is there like an adapter or something that means you have a mic and play/pause button too?

Generally I listen to a lot of podcasts some radio style podcasts and some trance ones. I listen to a bit of rock, a bit of pop, a bit of trance, little to no rap or R&B, a bit of dance/techno/electro. A bit of everything I guess. I like bass but i don't want it to be overpowering. I like...

I already have a pair of Sony mdr-???? In my household, not mine but I use them a lot. And I find that when I actually turn on the noise cancelling it adds another level of sound to the music and it sounds much better to me personally.

I think it's now a fight between Bose QC3s and Audio-Technica ATH-AD700, any recommendations?

Thanks for everyone's reply's I guess I'll start out with a nice pair of noise cancelling headphones and go from there afterwards!

I'm starting to just think I'll buy a pair of QC3 and be done with it

Ok, I'm not an audiophile (yet) because I don't have the funds. But what would you recommend then for best value for money for a home set-up.
