Another thing to consider is longer-term investment. About 15 years ago
I bought some nice high-end Sennheiser studio headphones after years of
going through cheapie sets. They sound great and are super comfortable
with a hard outer shell which blocks a lot of noise. I guess you could
find that in any manufacturer's headsets but what pro ones have is
replaceable parts. About four years ago the pads which go around my ears
were starting to come apart and I was able to just order a replacement
set making them like new again. Likewise about a year ago the cord
finally started making intermittent connections after so many years of
be pulled and folded. Ordered another cord and was able to replace it
(each ear has a small plug). So I probably paid about $200 or so back
then but I really have no plas of ever buying another set of headphones
as long as Sennheiser keeps making parts available.

Hi Alex,
It all depends on your price range. I'm a huge fan of Senheizer
headphones, Sony's are nice too.
Of course, if you really want to get expensive, Bose headphones, or
even Beats by Dre.

Hi all,
I'm looking to replace my current headphones. They were $10 or $20
from Radio Shack, but have been working great for at least eight
years. They still work perfectly, in fact, but the cushions on the
speakers are gone and those around the cups are falling apart.
Needless to say, they are pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than
an hour or so.
I'd use them for music, audio editing, and audio gaming, so I want
something comfortable for hours on end and of good sound and build
quality. Here are the things I'm looking for:
* under $100, if possible
* high quality build, good sound
* comfortable for extended use
* wired connection, preferably 3.5mm
* Only one plug - no use having a microphone plug since my Macbook
only has one audio jack
* noise-muffling, though true noise cancelation is not necessary
(basically, I don't care about hearing sounds around me with these)
I think that'll do it. As I said, I'm not waring these while out for
a walk or carting them around, so they can be big and block ambient
noises. My Aftershokz are great for use with my iPhone, but for real
audio on the Mac, I want something good that I can wear for a long
time. Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone has.

Have a great day,
