    What sort of head/earphones do you have/want/reccomend.

    My earphones broke
    So I am going to buy some new ones
    I reckon I have a pair picked out ( Don't know what they are called,)
    and I was just wondering what YOU use.
    I generally go for something that hooks around the back of the ear, because I have weird shapes in my ears, and normal headphones fall out. This way I can listen to music while I do parkour (not that I am any good, knee is killing me atm, I thought I could make the jump I really did, It was not fun when I didn't... Meanwhile, back at the point)
    Any good head/earphones you can suggest? things to stay away from?

    -> Walk in to any electronics shop -> look at the earphones -> anything above €20 is good.

    The best and probably most used headhones in the IT/Call center environment would be from Plantronics. They make truely excellent products.

    I have had a DSP-300 for longer than I can remember.

    I use a Sennheisser PX 100 - I love it. Best headphones ever imo. And I have been a DJ for over 10 years and am quite an audiophile!

    p.s. I would not DJ with this headphone but it is great for your computer and/or mp3 player.
