Ask Slashdot: Best Headphones, Earbuds, Earphones? 448
alexbgreat writes "What do you think is the best set of head-mounted loudspeakers for the money, with a cost of less than $50? Here are some featuresthat would be stupendous to have (in descending order of importance): noise isolation (not cancellation), flat/near flat response (I need to be able to hear bass, but I don't need my eardrums blown out), long-term comfort (earbuds usually hurt for me), and durability. Over-ear is preferred to anything on- or in-ear. Boom mics are permissible, as I may well use it as a broadcast intercom headset."
If you have experience using headphones from different price ranges, feel free to share that as well.

or Head-Fi. They aren't audiophile dumbasses but also they aren't the broke neckbeard losers that inhabit slashdot listening to their $5 Jensen headphones.

I don't even know what the hell we're talking about, but I know all three of you guys are wrong. Except the second guy, who makes all kinds of sense.

Actually we use much more expensive headphones so that we can have noise-cancellation for the rustling of the beard. Do not under-estimate us.

You don't need to state that. Of course it's a metric fuckton, everyone knows an imperial small fuckton = 6.235 imperial large shitloads.
