I've tried using both headphones and earbuds to listen to music, however, I prefer using earbuds as they're easy to wear and you get a more clear sound out of them. More specifically, I use SkullCandy earbuds; as it is my favorite brand.

I've had good experiences with Sony headphones, and earbuds are annoying in that they tend to fall out of my ears unless they have rubber cones like the ones Reun posted.

At the moment, I currently use Sony MDR-V150 studio monitors:

These little things here.

I've always used JVC's brands of these headphones for years. This is only the most recent model I've bought from them.

Mine aren't in the best shape, but it is what I use to play games.

Well well well, since I listen to music about 14 of the 18 hours I am awake, I always have to have some sort of headphoneware on me at all times.
My current fancy are these: While not being quite that loud, they're great quality and noise cancelling. I can see myself using these for years.
My earphone parallels (That I've been through THREE pairs of already) are these: I dunno how or why they break so fast, but they're LOUD AND GREAT. Functional, and in a nice shade of blue.

About a year ago I went to the local audio equipment store and the guy there recommended me Grados.

Pretty good sound quality and it has a mic for my recording needs, so double win there.

I have two pairs of headphones/earphones that I actively use. The main earbuds I have that I use for just about everything as their my genral all-day ones are the Skullcandy Fix (without the weird cone thingies, they don't fit nor stay in my ears that way). I guess it's pretty obvious what my favorite brand is. I've had the JVC Gummy ones before and I did not like them too much.

My more heavy-duty headsets are what I use for when I'm working with FL Studio to make remixes or any other musical compositions. I do sometimes use them to listen to some music as well, usually Hardstyle as it has some really powerful bass.

I despise the rubber-tipped earbuds. They NEVER stay in my ears!!
For my iPod I use the default earbuds, and for my computer I use a Logitech USB Headset H390. This is the second one I bought when my first one died after a year.

I'm using the pair supplied with my Lumia 900. I do prefer these kind of earphones - the kind that doesn't go into your ear canal at all. I'm not a fan of big headsets, nor in-ear phones. These are too heavy and uncomfortable, and tend to block out sounds.

I dislike earphones. I've broken them way too mant times.
So now I just use these iHome headphones, but those aren't even that great either.

As outrageous as it sounds, I use the earphones from West Jet Airlines that I got on our way home from New York. Not the typical super ugly headset with the two prongs, they have REAL earphones you can use with all of your devices. Anyway, they're made of some special wood that is supposed to improve sound quality. As far as I'm concerned, they're the most crystal clear and crisp-sounding earbuds I've ever used. Oh, and they're noise cancelling so while I'm mowing the lawn, I'd have them at less than half volume on my phone (my primary device for music) because I can barely even hear a LAWN MOWER. They're awesome. Best $10 I ever spent.

Now that I've looking at all these headphones, I've always wondered about this: if only there was something high-quality and lightweight...

Guess that's not happening anytime soon. Not that it matters, as the supplied phones are already a great improvement.

I think these in-ear earphones are only good at making you hear muffled noises. Booming bass, weak everything else, and you have to make sure that you have worn them in the exact way you want it... the problem doesn't appear with the kind of phones that I'm using right now.

I'm bouncing around Sony MDR-XD200s and my sister's Diddy Beats (which she never uses). They both sound nice to me and I would recommend both.

I use my normal iPod earbuds, but I'm hoping for headset ones soon. I like those more and they don't irritate my ears.

I am using very cheap, brand-less headphones. They are working fine.

I've had several pairs of earbuds, and eventually moved on to headphones.

The headphones I'm using now are Sony MDR-ZX100.



I don't know if I should buy the headphones that Dr. Dre made...does anyone want me to (the Sony headphones were $35, and Dr. Dre's cost up to $400)? Those are made of aluminum, so according to the website, they give off more bass compared to the headphones made of plastic. I really want to demo these, but I think I'm going to wait a couple years.
