    Anyone recommend anything good?

    Noise-cancelling ones would be preferred. And what are the best brands?

    Studying in Sterling Memorial at noon can be a bitch and I need complete silence. No way i'm wasting 15 minutes to drive back home.

    might be out of the range, but I got the Sennheiser IE8 noise-canceling buds on a steal and I'm quite happy with them

    are you guys working out with your earbuds? I'd be so afraid of breaking them.

    I've had the Beats by Monster for a little over a year, best things I've ever heard. Since I got mine, Wheels, 'Tone, and 4 other guys I work with have all tried them and got themselves a pair. Unreal, the sound! My boy from Dallas who does the same thing I do for the Mavs had just bought the top of the line Bose and tried mine on...... no joke...... took his back and bought the Monsters the next day!

    about 300 a couple of years ago in Japan, or about what Best Buy wanted for some Dr Dre Beats phones. The IE8's were going for around 750 here at the time.

    I liked the beats for over the ear, but their buds were not for me. I needed buds, so I'd been looking for awhile.

    I didn't get a warm fuzzy with the Bose buds.

    HCP, where did you get your set?

    I'm looking for some in-ear and I'd probably buy the 'PowerBeats' in-ear phones from Dre.

    Why the hell would you spend $300 on headphones?
