Discussion on: If you wear headphones, which ones do you use?

For commuting I use some cheap bluetooth earbuds from one of the generic brands (about £20) which are good enough and mean I don't have to plug in. Before I made the jump to lightspeed, I used to use the Sennheiser CX300s because they seemed to be a great sound for a reasonable price and the cables didn't seem to break as much as with other brands. I like Sennheisers.

At work I use more Senns, the HD-25s. They're more a DJ headphone and clamp quite tightly on my head which I don't particularly enjoy - I have to take them off after a while because my ears get sore - but they sound great.

Odd story, I had them lying around for years after having picked them up cheap at a charity shop, and thought they weren't very good - turned out that if I plugged them into a desktop computer they sound fatastic. My old mp3 players and phones and such just couldn't drive them well enough.
