    Don't try Bose,overpriced crap.

    It all depends on how you want to spend,what kind of headphones you want & what kind of music you listen to.I could nerd out on the topic of headphones but l wont.

    Good bang for your buck are Klipsch Image S4 Headphones,
    l got these a few weeks ago,better than some headphones that l've paid over 3 times as much for.

    I forgot all about Klipsch products. I used to be real heavy into car audio and knew my fair share about home audio, but I've been out of the loop for so long. Good advice, though. It was one of the brands I was trying to remember to suggest over Bose.

    The sennheiser cans above are top notch for the $$ as are Grados. If you are looking for earbuds check out Earphone solutions dot com, I got the Westone 2's, cost more than my iPod classic! But good sound. They have all kinds.

    So I have to add, since you said more volume was your goal, that you know you can permanently damage your hearing that route?
    I work with headphones & if I go into a crowded bar or club it is impossible for me to understand what people are saying unless they talk very loudly because my upper frequencies have disappeared, it's all just hash now..... very depressing. And I don't have it too bad like some others (tintinnitus). Inner ear canal devices that cut out exterior sounds with rubber seals are the way to go since you can hear the music clearly without a lot of volume.

    Try to get some from a manufacturer called AKG. This company specialises in earphone and loudspeaker technology.

    And to those who lament bout high price earphones - well, a good product costs money, if ure not prepared to spend u r just dumb. It's like driving a sportscar with crappy tyres. You just won't get the full potential out of it.

    Well I listen to both Gabber Techno and Classsical music on my 'player. I mean is there any part of the stats that I should look for in specific? Neodymium drivers or is there something specific that tells you it is a loud clear phone?


    You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.

    A lot of the time you have to sacrifice volume for sound quality, or vice versa. If you want something that sounds loud to you, get a set of In Ear Monitors. It's what you see most musicians wearing when they play live.

    Now, you don't have to go out and get the custom molds for your ears or anything.. Shure makes a great set that I use personally called the SCL2. Its only $100 for those. If you want something with a dual driver instead of a single driver, look for the E5 (may have a different model number, now). There are a few other companies out there that make IEM's, but I've had great luck with the Shure system.

    In ears are great because you isolate the outside sound, and get the pure sound right in your ears. Meaning, you don't have to crank it way up to get volume, and you get amazing clarity.

    Hopefully that helped a little..
