    Got some cheap Turtle beach PLa something-or-others that do a decent enough job for gaming/youtube, and a pair of Shure SE315s for anything else.

    Re: Which headphone do you have?

    B&W P3: Excellent detail, timid bass, no noise isolation or cancelling so useless for travel, doesn't sit very tight so easy to fall off your head, very uncomfortable on the ears and top of the head after 1-2 hours wear. Waste of money and would not recommend!

    I'm looking at getting some in ears sometime soon after my Sennheiser and Sony ones broke, any recommendations? Been eyeing up the Shure 425.

    Re: Which headphone do you have?

    I use the Roccat Kave 5.1. Great for sound quality (Its not virtual surround. It actually has enough drivers to do real 5.1 surround). Good for movies and games (different presets). However, if you use a mic alot, its not great... Not bad, but not great.

    Hyper X Cloud here - very comfortable and good quality.

    QPad QH90s are the same set.

    Couldn't agree more. I've been using the HD202/HD201's for years now. Great sound and something a poor student like me can afford.

    Re: Which headphone do you have?

    I've had a few pairs of sennheisers, and find their newer stuff to be of lower quality. Their old HD 25's were great build quality, but their new HD8 DJs not so.

    Been the same story with other earphones and headphones of theirs too.

    I now use a pair of Sony MDR 1A. Amazing quality and suit my needs perfectly. Also, they're red and black, which was, by the way, something I took into consideration when buying

    Re: Which headphone do you have?

    I mostly use Apple's Earpods for podcasts and handsfree calls, which works great.

    For any music or anything slightly bassy, I use Bose On-Ear headphones from a few years ago, fantastic bass but they don't make them any more so not sure what I'll replace them with.:
