Default Headphones Recommendations

My current pair of headphone are just about dead. they are in need or replacing. As such i am looking for some suggestions for new headphones.

I'll use them mostly while warming up to play ultimate (standing in place throwing a disc and some walking), when i DJ, and on road trips/flights.

i have a budget for these of $150 - any recommendations?

Skullcandy Hesh. I picked up a pair on Tuesday and so far they've been almost constantly in my ears. Very comfortable and WARM! I got them for 50 bucks in The States.

@jackhammer

thanks. those sennheiser ones a few people recommended look like they may be a good fit.

Yeah, actually... I need headphones that play really loudly so that I can't hear anyone else but also so no one can hear me.

It sounds easy to find, but I have yet to find useful headphones.

The ones I currently have play fairly loudly but I have to play the music really quietly if I'm in a quiet setting.

You would seriously rate these above sennheisers? From what I have read, Skull Candy are more for asthetic purposes and just don't even get close to a pair of sennys.

I've never had the pleasure to try a pair of Sennys, I'm just giving him my recommendation from what I've experienced.

I do agree with the asthetic purpose, I really didn't want ones with a bunch of "Skullcandy" writing all over it, but oh well. Mine sound great and I've been a happy camper for the past 5 days.

i've had a pair of PX 200 for a few years now, and i'm relatively happy with them. the bass is milder than i'd like, but otherwise the sound is very good, and they work well enough. but they're getting worn out, and i'm thinking about going for a pair of in-ear phones, they're more convenient since i use my small pair mostly on the train commuting to and from work.

but at home, i use my HD 580 headphones. god i love those things! i've had them for like 6 years now, and i've had to replace the cord, but they still work great. pads are getting a bit musty, might replace those soon, but the sound is still perfect. i can literally wear them for 10 hours straight and not feel even remotely uncomfortable. they're open-ear so they're no good for containing sound or for use in noisy environments, but the sound is so warm, i just love it. perfect for music and movies alike!

definitely go for sennheiser. i'll never buy anything else...
