I love building things, mostly with code.
Currently: Software Engineering Architect at Quip (Salesforce). Previously Attic Labs and a bunch of startups.
Walking to work I use the Libratone In-Ear Q Adapt, which I'd recommend for "city" headphones. Cord never tangles and build quality is solid, sound is fine (maybe slightly better than apple earbuds but still missing a ton of range).
My favorite thing about these is that they use the lightning plug to power the active noise cancelling. Cancelling is just OK, but I appreciate the ability to adjust how active it is. More comfortable than QC20s and way less bulky.
At work I use Sennheiser 598s, which are the most comfortable and best sounding headphones I've ever worn. I've had this pair for 5 years, they're absolutely incredible. I wear glasses which makes over the ear headphones rough and these are far and away the best I've used for that.
The only drawback is that they are open back, which means the audio quality is insanely good but noise will leak both ways. I actually like the leak at work because folks can get my attention, but these aren't going to work in a coffee shop (distracting) or library (folks will hear your music).
On planes or when in need of extreme focus, I use Bose QC20s, which sound like garbage but completely shut out the world (except for human voices that are nearby). Bose only does one thing well, and these along with the QC30s are a complete isolation chamber.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
