Har! I has new headphones!
I've been needing these for a while! 
They're iFrogz brand EarPollution headphones, and sound quite good! I'll need to turn down the bass, it's quite reverberative!

Neato!
I bought myself a pair of AKG K101 headphones a while back. Best pair I have ever owned.

Since we are all promoting our headphones, I'll say I'm a fan of the Grado Sr-80's Only $99 and great sound.
I hear amazing things of the Grado's.
Heh, my Powerbook is slowly clicking away caching the pages of 68kmla.org as I view it. But, these are cheaper headphones, maybe (I don't really know, it was a present) about $10-20. Oh well, these are the best headphones I've heard, a great break from the 'phones that were $7 and broke after a day. > 
I only have one set of headphones and they're my iPod headphones.
I haz KOSS UR20s here. 
The old pair got so used (I listen to music 25 hours a day, 8 days a week ( ;D )) and abused (they either go *crash* or *clunk* when I need to leave the computer, or *plonk* when I need to quickly leave the computer) that they more or less died (can has red duct tape on sticky tape on black headphones?) and I finally got them replaced.
Mum replaced them with more expensive UR29s at first so I could listen to music on the run, but the sound is rather different, they don't sit on the ears the same and the folding mechanism (they're the folding version) feels a bit flimsy (the cable I can see going to the speaker cones looked rather brittle, if cable could be called that) so she managed to talk the no-exchange policy out the window ( ) and replace with with another set of UR20s. 
:lol:
Oh, right, the sound. They sound pretty good.

I've had my HD280 Pro for a while, and I love it because its comfortable, every part is replaceable (look at their site, literally, its made to come apart so you cna replace a part), they are sturdy, and sound amazing. and they have an ueber thick cord that I think will never fray.

You *seriously* need to change those ASAP. They are quite possibly the worst headphones around. They cut out 95% of what you *should* be hearing - the actual music! The quality on those is just plain awful. Get some in-ear noise cancelling headphones, and you will feel like you are on heaven. For real.
i tried a few different kinds of Sennheisers and they have this nutty sound to them. Maybe that's just me.
AKGs are good.
My UR-30 set would still be in use if the plastic 'skin' over the ear-surrounding foam had lived as long as the speakers themselves. A pity, because they are good, even (or especially) when driven by a solid-state amp. that I built in 1978, and which still performs flawlessly.

People bashing the apple headphones....
Honestly, they are better than 95% of the headphone out there bundled with stuff. For free, they arent bad, and they dont sound like tin and they last a long time. They dont have much bass, but treble is good.
Just think of the worse generic headphones that are allover....

Now those are horrid and fall apart. Some of us cant afford 99$ for headphones you know :-/
However, if I need good quality I hook up my iPod to my speakers on my desk which sound good.

I got my AKG K101's for $60. NOT $99.
