Anyone ever seen Definitely Maybe? Ryan Reynolds has wireless ear-buds in that film. Those ones in particular don't exist but you can get them. They're about £130 though. Still...definitely awesome.

Cost me about £130 when I got them but they're universally rated as being better than the original Bose noise cancelling set. They're absolutely amazing and I don't regret buying them for one second, the noise cancelling feature is fantastic; with it turned on, almost nothing gets through. They're useful just as mufflers on a train/plane journey even, but the sound quality of music is the best I've ever heard through headphones.

Wow. I've been wanting a pair of these for years, the only problem would be when someone tries to talk to me, and they think I'm ignoring them, not realising I've got earphones in. x

I presume a lot of the people that spend a lot on headphones use them for computing and other such things but I always think it's absurd when someone spends £150.00 on headphones to use with their mp3 player. It's just pointless considering you would get no benefit from the extra cost due to the reductions in sound quality of mp3s.

Just ordered a pair of these.

Sennheiser PMX 100 headphones

I just hate the feeling of those in-ear ones. It feels like when your ears swallow water, horrible.

Mine are just the pair which came with a Sony CD player a couple of years back.

They're pretty decent, nothing like some which have been listed in this topic, but the quality is definitely acceptable.

I've a couple of pairs of Sennheisers. Just bog standard £15 ones. I keep a pair at work for lunchtime TF2 and music. I've got some Sennheiser in ear ones for my MP3 player, they are a bit rubbish. I'm not a fan of the ones that go inside your ear canal.

I like in ear ones with the lil handles to keep them on your ears, but I absolutely hate the ones I have as the speaker grate isn't covered by foam like it is on other models so if I'm not very careful it gets blocked up with bits of wax and the like from in my ears. It's happened before and really screwed up the quality of the audio coming through. :(

Just recently bought a pair of Sennheisers, PX200s I think, to replace the pair I got with my iPod. So far, I'm exceptionally pleased. Made me realise just how poor the Apple ones are.
