Who out there makes actually legit headphones? (Besides Skullcandy, that's a given.)

skullcandy's look nice. but every pair of headphones ive gotten from them has broken. if you want good sound quality look at bose, sony, and sennheiser.

Great options but not sure if he is planning on spending 1500 on headphones, I could be wrong though.

He never gave a budget. ;)

But the B&W's are probably the best option around the 300 mark.

Style, Build Quality, Great Materials, Good Sound and they are not Dr Dre's.

Clean your ears or learn something about sound quality.

They might be hip but quality is shit, it's a piece of plastic that breaks easily.
Sound quality is subpar at best, base heavy and crappy mid and highs

If those are the best headphones you ever listened to then you haven't listened to very good headphones.

Listen to some AKG K 701 first, (via an amp of course) and come back if you then tell me the beats were better you are an idiot.

I was looking into getting a pair of Klipsch Image S4i or S5i rugged in-ear buds.

Anyone have any experience with these?

My Audio Technica ATH M-50s are insane. Accurate sound representation, from booming bass to crisp highs. More oriented for production, but listening to music is such an experience on them too. But you can tell the difference between well-produced music and bad stuff on them, which is good or bad depending on what kind of music you listen to. Small mp3s are noticeably terrible too. I would never ski in them though, these are for at home.

I have some urbanears too for casual use, and though they look dope they're exceptionally average sound-wise.
