Based on Head-Fi recommendations, I finally got around to getting a set of Koss Portapros. Absolutely amazing! My wife is even impressed by the wonderful tone these things have.
The only oddity is the temporal adjustment. It does work, but doesn't seem to hold the setting. When I take them off, it snaps back to the tightest setting.
However, this is a minor gripe compared to the performance and comfortable fit of these headphones!
On a related side-note, I am considering a set of "ear buds" or IEMs (or whatever they are called). Is there anything which is comparable to the Portapros (nice sound, reasonable price, comfortable)? I love products with high "bang-for-the-buck."
I searched, and apparently JVC Marshmallows (usually modded) are generally well-regarded...
I was surprised to see them in a local Circuit City...and more surprised that they were $35 (seems most people get them for <$20).
