But what about the jack? It's always turning and rotating in the plug, and the connection cuts out a ton. You basically have to have your iPod/MP3 player still to get a constant sound.

I got the Creative EP-630 in-ear phones a few weeks ago. They're definitely much better than the Sony EX series sound-wise. The only problem is that the cable is noisy as hell.

I want to get sealed headphones for some noise isolation, but they all look so heavy and clunky to wear and carry around. I might just get the Koss KSC 75.

I've never really like Koss. They seem so cheap and poorly made.

They're good quality, they really are. I'll admit that there are better quality better head/stereophones out there, but for the price I got mines [$45] it was worth it.

Yes, the KSC-75 is flat out awesome. They're actually among the best sub-$100 headphones you can get. If I didn't need isolation I'd use them all the time with my iPod.

I saw good headphones for $30 in Akihabara. Forgot the brand.

I got these cheap ass head phones MDR-V150 Stereo Headphones. Price $20 good sound but it's fucking loud everyone in your vicinity can hear it no no actually the grudge I had was that the cord is too fucking long so I tripped over something. I had these Philips earphones for the same price and they suck so bad and it was extrememly loose. I personally liked my KOSS headphones which were the same exact price but they started to break.

the moral of this story. dont buy any 20 dollar head phones unless they are sony

MDR-V150 is Sony.
I also had these S2 Sport Headphones they were nice too ehhh.
Though what could I do I needed headphones on short notice I can't play my iPod without headphones. I could just stare at the song title but that will be amusing for a while.

if you think the cord on those headphones is long...i have these

I got them from London, for a nice 55 dollars, 30 off the real price...
and mine are all black, which is way more wickeD

Yeah, I had this totally kickass pair of headphones that had this sound thingie where you could just turn the dial on it and the headphones would actually regulate sound amplification independently of your actual volume on your mp3 player. Not only that, it had a little monoraul and stereo thingie on it, so you could switch between the two. It's cord was obscenely long--I could stand up from my computer (with it plugged into the speakers), walk into the kitchen and barely retrieve something out of the fridge. It had kickass sound quality, but I b0rke it after my mom pissed me off 'cuz I threw it at the desk in bewilderment. Man... that bitch. >=\

Anyway, right now I mainly use Philips HS500 behind-the-neck headphones. Yeah, Philips brand. Anyway, I think these are pretty kickass for being below $20. It could work a bit better with the bass, but it's still okay. The mid-range is really nice, as is the treble, and considering the pillows rock the mid-range I'd say grab 'em if you want.

Personally, I have long hair (for a guy) that easily conceals the headphones from view, so I never worry about trying to hide them (only the cord coming out of my left ear.) I use these when I run, and they're way better than most models compared to any brand, and they're very durable. I've had 'em for about two years, and only after over 40 accidental drops, and who knows how many cord clips is the model starting to fuck up, and it's not even that bad, I just need to jiggle around the plug a little bit, so these're confined into my household set for now since I'm poor. They're pretty comfortable after you get used to behind-the-neck phones too. Overall, these are really nice if you're looking for an in-between r0x0r-quality headphones and the crappiest of earbuds that are given along with mp3 players.

As a temporary replacement, I have some Sony MDR-G42 headphones. The sound quality on this is okay and everything, but the headphones are like... two sizes to small or something, so my ears hurt after like twenty minutes of using them, and my ears are used to behind-the-neck headphones. I'd say avoid these at all costs and opt for something else, unless if you've got a tiny head.

i love behind the neck and the independent clip-on headphones. i used some phillips external ear-phones...the 15 buck kind. the bass was rocking good, but they got caught on a projecting chair arm and died.

I know your pain.
