Im looking in to getting new headphones for my ipod. (gone threw 3 of the white ones)

Looking for some good ones, not to pricey. Maybe $70 max, and thats alot!!

What do you guys suggest?

Figure out your usage first, I do have one that I recommend for anyone looking for new headphones but here is the proper way to pick out your headphones.

Determine the usage.
1. Are you using it at home? Work? While working out?
2. Do you travle in trains and other public transportations?
3. How durable do you need it to be? Do you plan to actually take care of it?
4. Do you do loud work while listening? (e.g. mowing the lawn)

Determine what your style is.
1. Do you care about your apperance, if in public with it? (big ones do look a bit silly these days, but do remember they usually deliver the best audio)
2. Do you need to fir them in your pocket?
3. Ear buds? or around the back of the head?

Set your price.
You've already established that.

I currently use these

I'm a big fan of Sony in home audio and portable. I would not recommend them for car audio fyi.

They do come in a few different colors as well and I know it is a bit over your budget but if you can shell out a few extra dollars, I think it'll be worth your money.

Do note that you need to take care of headphones well for their maximum capablities as well.

I don't think you have used the noise cancelling ones since you've been thru the stock iPod ones but once you use NC headphones, you'll never want to go back.

Bose also makes great ones but their style is not fitting for me and quite bulky as well.

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM.

I have gone through 3 of these head sets in the past 6 years. My first one lasted me until sophmore year of college, a total of 3 years before they just got worn down from wear and tear (mainly me dropping them constantly and super gluing them back together). My 2nd pair lasted me 2 years... my cats chewed through the cord. Got my 3rd pair last year and they are still in perfect condition.

They are cheap, super good sound and durable. I personally hate ear-buds (crappy sound and don't feel right in your ear), and wrap arounds just look silly to me.

I HIGHLY recommend them.

Shure e2c earbuds. VERY NICE if you can find them! I paid $70 for mine. Interchangable parts, noise cancelling, and the sound is exceptional for earbuds.

i just got some skullcandy headphones and they are so nice i use them for dod. they are earbuds and have diffrent sized earpieces for diffrent sized ears. they are most comfertable ive ever used, i think its beause i have small ears or something because i use the smallest ear bud. great quality sound. in strand i can hear them coming from half a football field.

Shure headphones are the best. I say spend more and save in the long run. I have Shure EC4 and while i payed 300 dollars for them i have been using them for over three years. And the sound is better than the rest. Don't have to spend so much like me, but get good quality to last.

And they are not noise canceling, they are noise isolating. Which is better, works better. It blocks your ear canal so sound cannot get in. Noise canceling is bad compared to my EC4's, not even close.

I have a set of [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Maximo-iM-490S-iMetal-Isolation-Earphones/dp/B000LFZ6OE/"]Amazon.com: Maximo iM-490S iMetal Isolation Earphones for Sansa, iPod, and MP3 (Discontinued by Manufacturer): Electronics@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/418RJpMfsVL.@@AMEPARAM@@418RJpMfsVL[/ame] earbuds that are great. I'm not an audiophile, so my aural palate isn't well tuned. That said, these earbuds have great sounding lows and highs that really beat the pants off of the standard earbuds that I've used in the past.

I'm sure that they can't compete with some of the more expensive sets, but for the price point, they are really good.
