Greetings, I was wondering what kind of headphone type you like. I like the ones that are over ear, not in it. Choose, please:

I have big over-ear ones for home because it drowns out sound better, but on my MP3 I have in-ear ones

On the go, being active, or working out I prefere earbuds.

Stationary, like at home, I prefere circumaural headphones.

different kind for different situations, if i'm working out or something i like the lightweight kind that stick in your ear, if i wanna tune everything out out i hav these massive headphones, and if i'm in school then i have the kind that go over your ear and goes around the back of your head.

I hate iPod headphones and all headphones that go in your ear really. Feels too loud to me.

I use cans at home, buds on the road.

I prefer the in-ear variety when I'm out...simply because I can take them out, roll the cord up, tuck it in a little cloth pouch, and stick it in my pocket. I've had god knows how many over ear headphones break on me because they got squished in my backpack. That and in-ear ones block a lot of ambient noise, and offer better sound reproduction.

At home, where size isn't an issue, I have a big pair of closed studio headphones. I used to have an open pair, but...well, I'm not too sure what the advantage is supposed to be. They leak in all the surrounding noise which destroys the whole purpose of wearing headphones in the first place.

I hate iPod headphonestaindcoldlp

That's one thing that drives me crazy when I take the bus to university - there are generally half a dozen people (at least) wearing white iPod headphones, and I want to run around and rip them off peoples' heads. They sound terrible. I didn't realize how awful they sounded and how uncomfortable they were until I got my own iPod. I used the headphones for about thirty seconds and then dumped them.

Seriously, people spend hundreds of dollars on an iPod and can't be bothered to buy a decent $20-$30 pair of headphones? The stock things are like listening to your music through a gramophone.

I think iPod earbuds are some of the best headphones I've ever used, and I've got a keen ear too. They sound much better than my more expensive Sonys.

I have both. I use Shure E3Cs almost all the time. I had Bose TriPorts which were ok, but I sold them. Working on getting a pair of Sennheiser PX200s.

$20-$30 gets you less than decent for headphones.

It gets you a pair of Panasonic HJE50s or Sony EX51s, both of which are about ten times better than the stock iPod headphones.

I had the EX71SLs and they were quite possibly the worst headphones ive used (besides the iCrap buds). Sony purposely makes the chord extremely thin. Both mine and my brother's pair snapped. Spend ~75-80 and get the Shure E2Cs.

really depends. If I want isolation I like in ears, but if it's just sitting around listening to music at home, I like over the ears. Since they're more comfortable.
