Just one of those Sony MDR on-ear headphones I bought for sale-ish. But I like it, tho. It's got nice bass and the sound's better than the previous headphones I've owned. But sometimes it make weird coffin sounds when one of the ear cups are pressed, almost like a sound effect from Skyrim when the skeletons attack. I'm guessing it's a pretty typical thing to happen for those un-flexible plastic headphones that are easy to break. But I've been using this pair of headphones for over a year now and it's still in the condition when I first bought it except that some areas collect more dust than others. It's OK in terms of comfort. I don't expect much from on-ear headphones in terms of comfort cuz it'll always press against the ears. For a pair of on-ear headphones, the comfort is actually decent. I have no problem with the music quality as I'm not much of an audiophile and I do like a bit of bass. But I do prefer to set my standards a lil bit higher in terms of music quality as I do listen to music quite often. But my budget says otherwise.

I personally prefer the more compact in-ear models even though all the in-ear ones I've bought are cheap ass budget headphones. owell.

IEM master race.
And I don't use a headse cause I don't need a mic.

I have been using Soundmagic E10's for a little over a year now and after going through about 15 other IEMs in 8 years these have lasted longest.

Modmic with Sennheiser HD598s, and sometimes ATH-M50x's.

I like listening to music on the go and hate people who wear over ears in public so I've mostly invested in earbuds/IEMS. My last pair were some B&W C5 and I just recently switched to Senheiser iE80s. I'm really enjoying them. The only downside is the lack of a mic but I've found some replacement cords I can buy. As for over ears, I only have a pair of Beats Pros since I got a good deal on em and I wasn't well knowledged in audio. I'd like to upgrade to some HifiMan HE-500's or something around that price range as well as grab me an Amp/DAC.

I don't use a headset.
I use the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headphones
I use WO Mic to use my OnePlus One's mic as a PC mic.

The SteelSeries Siberia V2s are one of the safer all-around headsets, though I would look to other headsets depending on what it is that you do or want to do.

I have Siberia V2 (using right now)

Sound quality is superb, easy to use the equalizer software that came with it too. I've been using them for quite a while and I think they're pretty durable, but I can't really say much since these are my first gaming headphones.
They do get a little uncomfortable (especially on one ear) after a while, but I guess that's to be expected.

I recommend these.

Monster DNA cuz they were relatively cheap (65 bucks) and they were a bit better than the omnipresent Beats by Dr. Poop
Friends got me AudioTechnicas and those blew the DNA out of the water
