I need suggestions! I have a $150 cheap budget that's why there are quotes around 'great'.I listen to variations of music, but it's mainly for pop and indie. Another thing I would like to have on them are either a removable cable or a control talk cable, if possible.Thanks.
I too use headphones a lot, love the Bose headphones. They are great. They are comfortable, like how they sound they cost $100 - $129. Maybe you can give them a try.
If REAL quality is an issue, you should stick to REPUTABLE brands only such as BW, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica (NOT to be mixed with Technic which is utter rubbish as well!), Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY okay-ish indeed. Please do NOT fall a victim to FASHION ACCESSORIES by buying Boombox, Ministry of Sound, Sol/Republic/Revolution, Noontec Zoro's, Benetton, a-jays, iFrogz, Marley, Fanny Wang, Razer, Karl Kani, WESC, Turtle, JH, Dr.Dre/Beats/Solo, Ludacris/Soul, Koss, Skullcandy, Lady GaGa, Skullcrushers, Monsters nor Bose, because they are ALL seriously overhyped and overpriced fashion blingbling gimmicks with a very poor durability and sound quality, NOTHING else (and those who try to claim they are good do NOT know ANYTHING about QUALITY anyway!), BE THEM FAKE OR NOT! Also, please do NOT focus on the thumping bass that just distorts everything else, instead go for GOOD audio quality IN GENERAL.
