Heya! A buddy of mine and I got on the subject of headphones, and I realized something:

The ones I have suck. Horribly.

I've been using these lovely little Walgreens find from one late night when my old, but similar pair died. You see, I can't live for a day without music, and so getting a new pair was vital. Yes, these.

In all honesty, I've become quite.. accustomed to such quality as I can't afford much. But I definitely want something more out of my beloved music D:. So, I think /any/ suggestion would sound worlds better than what I've got now.

So! Friend mentioned above said I should register here and ask!

Here's my challenge for anyone willing to help a girl out with her headphone dilemma:

I want decent to good sound quality.

I love nice bass and good clarity overall.

I prefer the comfort of in-ear buds, but only those with a headband. I cannot STAND ear-clips and simple buds, they drive me nuts. The clips wore my ears raw and the buds are always falling out.

I listen to most kinds of music, but the things I listen to most often include Metal (In Flames and Atreyu, for example), Industrial (Aesthetic Perfection), Dance/Rave/etc (mmm Dougal & Gammer anyone?), Punk Rock, and.. whatever category the wonderful Bjork falls under :] Other examples of what I listen to include Plain White T's, Mindless Self Indulgence, Nine Inch Nails, Daft Punk and Garbage.

Unfortunately, while I want nicer headphones, I want to stay as close to $20 bucks as possible. I might push to $30, but only if there isn't /anything/ nicer than what I've got available.

Also, I want as little outside sound getting in as possible. That's why I'm using the ones I have now. They fit nicely into my ears and keep other noise out. I also want headphones that are going to be loud.

If it matters as far as the headphones go, I use a Creative Zen Micro 6 gig.

Also, haha, I honestly don't care if the headphones look good or not ^ ^ Just looking for quality and comfort here.

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps! :]

Sounds like the JVC Marshmallows (FX33) might be right up your alley. They're IEMs, which go into your ear canals, which I find more comfortable than normal earbuds, and they stay in place a lot better.


Nice music tastes, btw.

Atreyu is one of my favorite bands.

Thanks! I am looking into them now, and they do look like they would work nicely for me, although I will look around a little more before deciding :}

(And, awesome! Favorite Atreyu song at the moment has got to be the theft.)
