What Brand of Headphones Do You Use?

I'm currently using custom iPhone earphones on my daily travels to work, and at home, Urbanears. I just saw a Beats by Dr. Dre headphone, and its expensive! on the other hand, bootleg Beats are a lot cheaper and the sound it produces is somewhat ok.
So as the topic says, do you still use headphones or are we too old for these stuff?

I had dr dre beats tours the in ear ones, they sound good but only lasted a week and a half before one of the headphones started crackling. I took them back and now stick to cheap ones.

I'm thinking about getting some Grado SR-60i headphones soonish.

I don't use earphones but have a comfy set of old Sennheiser headphones that have lasted many years and sound great.

I use Creative hs-730i in-ear headphones. Really love them since they are OK priced and they do a good job blocking out outside noice so I don't need to cranck the volume up if there is a lot of noice round me.

Grado Labs has to be the best sound quality for the price, but the plugs can be a bit bulky if you're concerned with that.

Sennheiser PX 100-II and some skullcandy lowriders

I know people say skullcandies are flimsy but I'm pretty rough with mine and they've been ok. The sennheiser are my 2nd pair I was told they were pretty much bullet proof but I had a headphone go before the 3 month extended warranty ran out

I can't do the whole in ear thing they just either fall out or hurt

I use Bang and Olufsen ear phones. I think they blow Sennheiser out of the water but not as well known.

I've had Skullcandies break on me twice, but they definitely look great, stylistically speaking.

Rarely use this headphones - Fisher Audio FA-768 or Koss The Plug

Sennheiser ear buds. I don't remember the model number. I've been using them for over 2 years with no problems.

In order to get away from the cord, I am considering a LG HBS 700 Bluetooth Headset.

+1 for Sennheisers. I've used both in-ear and regular headphones and I'm quite happy with them.

Same here

I tend to get about 18 months to 2 years from a set then I just buy them again

I do use them at least daily. Used to be more before I got the iPod connection in my car

I did try a Creative pair but missed the asymmetrical cable. Couldn't go without that feature now. Means I can pop them in and out without the cable falling to floor

I use Sennheiser CX 200 and also a no brand in-ear phones. These last ones have really no visible brand on and they don't even identify left or right channel. They were "offered" to me and actually have a fairly good sound.

Actually BO is well known here, and I guess in most of europe. That's a Danish company. They've gain the fame thru the years of repackaging other brands electronics (mostly from philips) in their fancy and elegant designs.

I use Shure.

One of my jobs at work is to maintain displays at a big electronics store. Those Beats headphones sound great but are constantly breaking. The vendor quit sending replacements because they thought we were lying about them breaking across the top. After corporate sent a couple hundred pics we submitted nationwide to them they accepted it was a problem.
