headphones
SpacemanSpiff:
Get in-ears. The better ones have a very good sound and because you don't hear the outside noise, you tend to listen to music at a lower volume, which is good for your ears. Normal headphones tend to damage your ears because of that after a while.
Don't get a system with active noise cancellation, I have yet to find one that doesn't also fuck up your songs.
As for companies: Shure and Ultimate Ears are pretty good, aim for the ~$100 range and you're off for a good start. Some higher-end equipment will set you back ~$400 though and if you only listen to MP3s or something, it's not worth it because the compression will prevent you from actually hearing a difference there.
As for me, back when I bought mine, in-ears weren't an option, so I went with the Bang & Olufsen A8. They have a very good sound and are very comfy to wear, but frankly, nowadays, I would get in-ears.

guilty. it's like getting your head hugged with music!

I've had bad experience with Creatives. The ones that came with my Zen Vision M blew after about 2 weeks of listening at about 3/4 volume. I bought some $40 Sony ear-ins, and they're much better, but I can't remember the model right now.

I have a pair of $20US Sony MDV-150s (I think). Work pretty well.
Redmage913:
I agree. the Sony MDR-V150 is a good, inexpensive set of phones. They have a decent frequency range and sound excellent when paired with an equalizer if you plug it into a sound system.
