Sony is a classic thou so I don't know T_T  | ||

I hate to be that guy, but I work in the professional audio/visual industry...assuming you want studio-ish headsets, we sell alot of ATs, Sennheisers (overpriced imo), Shure, and offer Sonys. I'd go for AT or Shure but those are more of a professional studio headset than anything else. Just stay away from Bose. >< You pay way too much for the sound quality you get out of them. Lots of people live by them but...my personal opinion is bleh.  | ||

A lot of people seem to recommend these: http://www.amazon.com/Technica-ATH-AD700-Audiophile-Headphones-Neodymium/dp/B000CMS0XU They're really big apparently, and go over your entire ear. (also open air, meaning people can hear what you are listening to and you can hear a bit of ambient noise) | ||

I want solid black, solid like a rock where u can throw it around it'll never break. | ||

Audio Technica makes some similar ones that are all black. The Shures you linked don't look too bad, I haven't used a pair myself but most places rate them pretty high. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-280-Pro-Professional/dp/B000065BPB/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1278764071&sr=1-1 That's a really good price for a good set of headphones. The problem with Senn's though is that they snug up on your head a little tighter than normal - to keep outside sound out. I think maybe your best bet is to pick 3 or 4 sets, and start reading up on reviews. Durability, Sound quality, so on. Sometimes headphones will have GREAT bass and GREAT vocals but midrange will suck balls and high-end things like cymbals will get tinny or hissy. | ||

I use these as monitors when producing music and for listening...they are, simple put, fucking pro. Best sounding headphones i've ever worn under 300$, beat the shit out of 280's (brutally). I've had mine for a bit more than a year now without a scratch or problem. buy them.

I'm bit concerned the joints where the bridge(on the top) connects to the oval "speakers" that connects to your ear, you say those are metal hinges there? And that cup thing connected to the metal thing is metal too? | ||
