Best ear bud headphones: Sennheiser MX75

I bought a set of these headphones a few weeks ago, and they are the best ear bud style headphones I've ever used. And believe me, I've used a bunch.

The key is the little disk that sticks out above the bud. It sits in the fold of your ear, keeping the ear bud in place. So even if you jounce around or turn you head, the headphones stay put.

They also have several different sizes of stabilization disks and speaker covers, so you'll definitely be able to find a setup that fits you.

The sound quality is really good, too. Maybe not as good as Etymotic ER4s, but definitely better than the ones you get for free with any MP3 player.

Right now they're on sale. $50 headphones for on $20. This is a great deal. Get them while you can!

Best headphones: Sennheiser HD-280 Pro

hd280.jpgI've been an amateur musician since I was a teenager, and I've owned my fair share of headphones. For a long time, it was the Sony MDR-V6, and they are a really nice pair of headphones. But I really think Sennheiser's sound better. The fine folks over at Headphone.com agree, saying:

These headphones sound terrific for sealed-earcup, full-size cans priced under $100... They are efficient enough to be well-driven by most portable audio players and laptop computers... The HD-280 Pro has also become the headphone choice of audio, film, and field recording/mixing professionals due to its clear tonal presentation, very effective ambient noise attenuation properties, and durable build quality. A true workhorse of a sealed-earcup headphone at a really hard-to-beat price.

Now I'm a bit of a headphone fanatic. I've own over 30 pairs of headphones in my life. Any while there are certainly different types of headphones I'd recommend for specialized scenarios (VOIP, exercise, airplane flights, etc.). But if I had to pick only one pair of headphones to use for the rest of my life, these would be it.
