Koss Porta Pro. They're wired over-the-ear headphones. I've used both just the headphones, and the ones with a mic in them.

Things I like about them:

  • They hit a wonderful spot between sound quality and price. I can never talk myself into the really expensive audiophile headphones, but I can talk myself into these and they are heads and shoulders over the other headphones I've tried in the same price range.
  • Over the ear but not sound-isolating works for me b/c I wear glasses and game and the really big and bulky over-the-ear tends to press the arms of my glasses into my head to give me headaches. The Koss Porta Pro don't stop outside sound, but I have to be wearing Koss Porta Pros over 12 hours to get any sort of headache, whereas with the over-the-ear sound-isolating ones headaches can happen in 20 minutes.
  • I don't like earbuds because the bass is shit in the price range I like, and they're easy to lose, and most importantly, I have small ear canals and have never found an earbud that actually stayed put in my ear.

Things I don't like about them:

  • The wires are so thin that long-term I tend to break them at the plug or at the place where they part to go to each ear, or in one case, I severed the wire by accident by rolling over it in my chair. And my wire repair skills are not great.
  • They're made to fold up for easier carrying around I guess, and I don't actually use that feature. But because they do fold up, they can catch hair on your head and rip it out painfully.
