HEADPHONES!!! Something to live by...

HEADPHONES we all love music, but how TRUE do we really hear our music. Now as a commuting student of 4 years I lived by my headphones, I traveled/slept/worked with the many headphones I've owned.   I've owned everything from $8 - $500 headphones, there can be a huge difference between the good and bad which is typically reflected in the price tag. You can always find headphones for a better bang for your buck.

Everyone wants and envy's those MONSTER BEATS whether it be Studio/Solo/Pro/etc. To be realistic they aren't the best bang for your buck. Your paying a huge price tag for a fad, just so people will notice your conformity in this world. 

Okay back to the point we all have different pref. when it comes to over the head headphones or ear bud's... 

now for long term use and comfort Over the head is the most comfortable. Ear bud's tend to hurt over long periods of listening time.
