For gaming and music...skullcandy hesh evo....pretty awesome . Better than my last sound logistics.  

I bought a set of those skull candy buds for riding in a pinch when I lost mine.  They worked surprisingly well.  Better than my expensive ones.  Great sound.  Great price.  What else is there?

I have never liked buds . Can't even ride with them . 

I just have best buy jbl for the phone and computer . Got them on now lol

I had a set of bose that I broke . So I took them apart and fitted the speakers out of them in my trail helmet.  Work pretty good . Not as good as the headphones but good enough

I'm not a headphone guy, but Nicole uses them a lot. She has tried several different ones over the past several years. She likes the V-Moda headphones the best so far folliwed by her AKG's.

Beats Studio Bluetooth Headphones…daughter gave them to me last Christmas…work great except when it drops below 32 degrees…kills the battery fast.

Nicole has a set of Beats too, but not sure which model. They all sound good to me, but see claims the V-Moda's sound the best out of the ones that she has :dunno:

I do too but, it'd look weird putting over the ear headphones on my helmet.  People would stare.  :lol:

Trying to find a pair that stay planted in my ears when I put on the balaclava and helmet is the biggest challenge.  Nothing is more frustrating that listening to am radio like sound when one gets dislodged.  :wall:

Right on….most sound good to me as well. I wish these damn IPhones still had an output jack so I could use good old corded headphones for those cold dog walking days.👍🏼🐶

I have a small battery/dac that I use with my ITE headphones.  If the battery dies I have an extension cable.  I travel all over the place though and the phones live in my head so it works really well.  Battery does last more than a day, but having a convenient backup is nice.

I am a HUGE fan of these.

I don't ever pull out my big cans anymore and it is killer to swap from music to conference calls with such ridiculous quality. 

I designed and made some near field monitors for my office with a sub that have nearly 2k in parts in them and my alclairs are better for critical listening.  It isn't that the setup is bad, it's ridiculous but these are more so.  I am a bit nuts though as noise & vibration is what has paid my bills for a long time.

They used to make a 2 driver unit for $249 that I see they replaced with a universal tip for $299.  I haven't heard those but would expect them to blow lots of things away.  I have the 6.  No reason to spend more IMO as that it is the diminishing return spot.  Some would say that even about the dual.  

Don't forget if you want wireless you have to add a dac as well.  The cheaper Fiio 1k for $40 or so is really a great buy.

...and you won't break them.  The cables are cheap and replaceable.  The rest analog and robust.
