Post your opinion of the best earbuds for heavy music such as Whitechapel, Carcass, and Job for A Cowboy. I'm thinking about buying a pair of Skullcandy Asym's. I'm looking for: A comfortable fit Won't fall out when running/working out Killer bass No feedback when moving such as the Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket has Noise reduction mid price range Post up and thanks in advance!
If you're looking for those kinds of features, do NOT go with Skullcandy. Honestly, I can't tell you how much I detest them. Yea, they're cheap, but the quality sucks ass. Digging up suggestions now... I've had very good experiences with Panasonic products and would recommend them. A few suggestions: - [url="http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/vModelList?storeId=15001&catalogId=13401&catGroupId=107004&langId=-1&surfCategory=null&cacheProgram=11002&cachePartner=7000000000000005702&isSeo=true&toggleHandle=true&orderBy=price"]Full Gallery[/url] - [url="http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Audio/Headphones/Earbuds/model.RP-HV200-S_11002_7000000000000005702"]Enhanced Bass Response, in-ear design[/url] - [url="http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Audio/Headphones/Earbuds/model.RP-HNJ300K_11002_7000000000000005702"]High quality, around $40, in-ear, adjustable size for better fit, better bass quality[/url] If you REALLY want killer sounds when not running, go with some over-ear headphones. - [url="http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Audio/Headphones/Monitor/model.RP-HTX7-K1_11002_7000000000000005702"]Fucking awesome old-school headphone[/url] I own a pair of those.
Well, I can't use over-ear headphones because I have long hair. You can't look cool in those either. The asym from skullcandy apparently sounds pretty nice for 40$. Anyone else? [editline]09:15AM[/editline] ``
I heard Skullcandy ear-bud style headphones weren't too bad. I'd go with some Sennheiser in-ear headphones though if you are looking for quality.

Maybe if the headphones had enough padding, said circles wouldn't appear?

I don't know what you're talking about, because these fit perfectly fine, and long hair hides them remarkably well. Super easy to get on and off, too. [img]http://s7v1.scene7.com/is/image/JohnLewis/230457798?$product$[/img] Superb quality. Range of 20-2000 H, the bass feels like they have a damn subwoofer in them, and they're like $15. They're a steal. :buddy:

look into sennheiser earbuds
Hmm. Alright. Anyone else?
I'm told Sennheisers are pretty good
You only listen to metal? Anyway like everyone said, Sennheisers are great.
Sennheiser. Just do it. They are the best. I went shopping with a friend the other day and he almost bought some skullcandies, but I insulted him a lot so he didn't buy them :v: He had it stuck in his head that they were great quality, even though I was assuring him they were crap. And he kept doing this annoying thing where he would look at me and say "Um, I think [i]I[/i] would know" as If he was a headphone expert.

Then made him listen to some Sennheiser after he's listened to those so he'd realize his mistake.
I just like a heavier sounding type of music. I don't dig pussy hip-hop.
Koss: the fucking plug [img]http://www.qfonic.com/images/products/sparkplug/image01.jpg[/img] do it.

Sennheiser CX500 ..can't go wrong.

Incarnated Solvent Abuse by Carcass is my favorite, however I do enjoy all of Swansong.
