I had a half way decent set up for a while. I'm a harmon kardon freak. But it's all either been broken, stolen or just plain lost in moves.

now I don't have jack crap.
yea, it's nuts. when i first started i heard the term, "The sky is the limit." i now know it's true. when cd players cost over 30k, that gets a little crazy for me. don't get me wrong, if i won the lotto one day i'll have one.

I just got a pair of Grado SR60..... I'm a believer, they sound terrific for $70.

Definitely worth a listen. Although, if you plan on using these for work than I wouldn't recommend them due to the "open" design. At a decent volume you can hear someone wearing them from a short distance which may be distraction to other people.

Pssssst.... onemanarmy... it's "RIDICULOUS"... with an "I"

i forgot to mention that. "open" designed headphones mean others can hear your music.

if you're in an office i really recommend in ear monitors (in-earphones). my shure e3c is super comfortable.

I would recommend the Shure headphones... they are the most bad *** buds I have even listened to... but they go for about $100...

As for skull candy... I totally recommend them... I have a set of buds and the G.I. earmuffs... I love them! The buds were about $20 at Fry's and I got my $80 G.I.'s off of eBay for $40!

Definitely check out eBay...
