Those set me back about 200 bucks and they sound great but I realize that this is not a practical price to pay for use with an MP3 player. I might occasionally break them out if I'm sitting at home and listening to my Zune but very rarely. I'm not going to carry around a $200 set of headphones around with me for them to get broken... I refuse to pay that much for a pair of headphones that are going to get hauled around all over the place.
I've not used too many in ear headphones or on ear headphones within that same price range though now that I think about it... Got any suggestions.

I say try the BOSE quiet3 over ear headphones. $179 at bb and they are phenomenal I am not an audiophile, but I can tell the difference in highs and lows, mids and tweets. I like to use billy joel's piano man to determine if a headset will meet my needs and the Bose set blew me away. They are not noise canceling, but they really do the job for me.
as far as noise canceling ones go, I like the Jabra set. They were WOOTED for $60 bucks i think and they do a great job in the yard. They really block out the mower and weedeater noise when you have the noise canceling on. Heck, I was groovin today and the neighbor caught me.
