Do you guys have good headphones?

I'd forgotten the joys...  I've been listening to music on regular headphones for the past few months, and grown comfortable with it...  then, my friend lent me a pair of $200 headphones, and it's like another dimension   Can't imagine prog without it... 

used to have these big ass headphones that would cover my entire ears and would allow me to hear every sound. i blew them out over a year ago and havent had a great pair since (too lazy to get another)

Bose QuietComfort2 Noise Cancelling Headphones. 

 

My Personal Sanctuary to listen to prog.  I hear nothing but the music, whether its Harmonium, Anathema, Gentle Giant, Mile Oldfield, its sound unrreal with the headphones on.

 

Personally, I dont realize the difference between the quality of burned cds and purchased cds with them on.  They both sound fantastic. 

I don't have any money, and therefore can't get anything very good.

I own a pair of Sennheiser HD600...It's the best electrodynamic headphones.

To go further, it's "Stax" electrostatic headphones, with their preamps...

right now i use some Sony MDR - 028 headphones which i love, because of the cleasn sound and volume....

My headphones have Philips SBC HP200 written on them and they do cover my ears and a bit more. I think I'm satisfied, but then I've never had better.

I have a pair of these:



They might not look very attractive (I kind of dig the retro look though), but they sound VERY good.  I bought a pair after reading some impressive reviews for them on headphone and tech sites.  Previously, I had $20 Sennheiser's that were good for the money (a lot better than cheap, no-name brand ones).  These are a lot better though, my old Sennheiser's had too much bass emphasis whereas these have great lows, mids, and highs.  It has a very warm sound to it as well, which is great.  Overall, my music sounds a lot better.  These cost a decent amount, $70, but are worth every penny.  I can't even imagine how those $500+ headphones with a nice amp must sound...

I've got Shure ECM2 in ears which are stellar for the iPod (They are the same transducers many artists use as in-ear monitors - albeit with custom made earpeices) They provide an astonishing stereo soundstage, and with the right ear-peices block out pretty much all external sound too (Great for the train) They are a tad bass light.

These are mine:
