    Earphones?

    I'm looking for new earphones (I'd say my budget is around 50-70$). Does anyone have a good recommendation (I was looking at a few Sennheiser and Shure earphones, but couldn't decide)?

    The most important things for me are noise blocking, audio quality and comfortableness. They aren't used for sports and it's important they don't have a bridge because I need to be able to lie down with them.

    Thankies

    Are you looking for headphones or earphones. As far as I know, the main difference is headphones cover the ear, and earphones go inside the ear.

    I also need to get a good set of headphones badly, but I have no idea what to get. I want something with a good length cord, good sound, super comfortable for long term wear, and keeps the headphone sound in and the outside sound out.
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!

    Looking for earphones - my main use for them is while going on the bus, etc. It is why I am willing to settle for something of lesser audio quality and something that is certainly far less comfortable, but the size and shape are very important

    I have a logitech usb headphones. I am trying to figure out what model. Hubby also has logitech usb headphones. Our cords for the headphones are very long, at least 6 feet long. The thing though you with noise reduction is if you are sitting next to your partner, you won't be able to hear them speaking to you. As hubby and I are gamers, noise reduction won't work for us, cause we like to talk to eachother as we game.

    I have a set of SkullCandy earphones I bought recently that I found very comfortable and have great sound quality.

    I reccomended them to Pae and he said he likes them as well.

    As far as PC Headsets, go for Plantronics, Logitech headsets as usually a lot more money than they are worth.
