I'm thinking about getting new headphones for Christmas. I've already had Skulllcrushers but they broke after a few months so I don't really want any Skullcandy products. What are some good headphones under 150$? +k for help

Klipsch Image S4i's. About 99 bucks with the volume control.
Pros- Quality, Bass (needs to be broken in), comfort
Cons- Durability

haha I was gunna recommend those too. My brother has them.
The only thing about them that I don't like is that the bass is boosted, unlike the Bose ones. However, they do block out some noise, again, unlike the Bose ones which do next to nothing in the noise canceling department.
But if I had to pick, I'd chose the Bose over the Klipsch.

What kind of headphones are you looking for?
Do you want an open or closed design?
(closed isolates the sound, doesn't leak sound, open is lighter, and produces a cleaner, more relaxing sound, IMO)
What kind of music do you like to listen to? Different headphones cater to different music genres.

On a side note, Skullcandy offers a lifetime warranty on their headphones, you could probably get another pair for free

Those are the best god damned headphones I have ever used. They cost $300, but the company has cheaper alternatives around $100.
