Which headphones should I get?

[Dystopia]

I love the earbuds. I used them even before I had an iPhone. I've had the same pair for over two years and use them daily.

Also, they fit my ears better than other earphones. The shape is different than any other design.

It's probably my best choice - the price is decent for quality - I'm a little picky but because I've never owned an expensive pair of earphones (over 100€/$) so as long as I don't know how good it is I'll keep believing apple earbuds are great. Sony earphones do the trick quite well and have the advantage of durability, for the prince of 10€ they're amazingly good compared to other similar priced items. Apple earbuds are 30€ so it's a decent price, I had a pair when I bought my ipod nano but they broke and the quality was so much better

Those are the ones I'm currently using. They do a decent job blocking outside noise, while still letting you hear someone talking to you. Laptop fan and disk spin-up noises are completely blocked. Cars passing by are still audible. Sound quality is good enough for my ears. Like GC says, if you're listening to mp3's, a lot of the quality is already cropped out so your sound quality becomes the same regardless of which speakers you use... as long as you don't use some really crappy ones which further degrade the audio.

No thanks, I think my sony earphones did exactly the same trick (or better for the price) but I'm looking for something better - I'm really gonna buy apple earbuds (probably) and it makes sense considering I'm using an apple product. For the record, I use mp3 320KBPS but I'm considering using Flac files if I find the correct app. By the way, the files in itunes are not mp3 but AAC encoder so I dunno if it makes a difference. Since I started downloading whole albums I notice a good difference in sound quality.
