<div class="IPBDescription">Looking for some new ones...</div> I need a nice pair of <b>durable</b> headphones. They don't have to sound awesomez0r, but as long as it isn't horrible, and they'll last more than a week in my pockets, I'd be fine. I've gone through 7 pairs of headphones this year IIRC, so please, any help?

    is this for gaming? Do you want a microphone on that?

    feh, I say just go to best buy or radio shack or something and pick up a pair in your price range, by a reputable company like altec lansing or sony... that's what I did, so far so good.

    If you want something for gaming, I really reccomend the Altec Lansing AHS 502. I've got a pair and I am completely satisfied. The earpeieces are comfy, sound detection laser precise, and the mic top-notch. They run about 27-30$ online, but I bought mine at Best Buy for 40$ and picked up a 2 year warranty for another 10$.

    For a pair to listen to music on, go with something like Sony and don't spend more than 10-15$.

    If you want something to listen to music with that will stay alive in your pockets, I would go for the type of headphones with the earpeice that you stick in your ear, or those ones that curve around the back of your ears.

    AHHH! Am I the only one alive that thinks those are the most uncomfortable things ever? Id rather listen to nothing than have those tiny things shoved into my ears.

    Im using the Plantronics Headset. Theyre pretty common, but the price is right at 20 bucks. Theyre very comfortable, and the mic is fantastic. I got mine at Best Buy.

    Well, that's the pair I have now, and they're all messed :\

    This is for my MP3 player (thought the whole 'pockets' deal might've given that away), I've already got a Platronics headset for my computer...

    It's so damned annoying, I have to play around with the wire in order to get one channel to play static that almost resembles what my song would sound like if it was played by a monkey on a guitar made of a big flat piece of wood and some rubber bands...

    Help?
