Hey guys,

I need to buy new headphones since my earbuds hurt my ears when I wear them for too long. I am a glasses wearer so I'm not looking for headphones that put too much pressure around the ears. I plan on using them at night so they shouldn't be too loud so people in the next room can't hear them too much.

Thanks for your help!

Edit: well, I could go for earbuds if they're really worth it, but they better be more comfortable than the old Sony ones I have.

http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headphones_dj-headphones_005176 These are really good and not too expensive. I've had a pair for years and the actual headphones don't break. I find that the cord of most headphones breaks over time but these have a replaceable cord that's only like $8. The bass response is really good, they are well padded and you can blast them super loud and nobody around you can hear them.

Turtle Beach has many different choices. I also wear glasses often and they dont bother me one bit.

Thanks for your answers, I will look into it and give you my conclusion soon.

What platforms are you using the headset on?

Unless it is better and cheaper than headphones, I am not looking for a headset (I already have one even though it pretty low quality), but rather some headphones to plug into my z-5500 when watching tv or playing games or into my iPod.

These are the best headphones for the price, WITHOUT QUESTION, that I have ever used. They compare to $150 Bose.

Honestly I think Bose is overpriced for the sound they offer.
