HEADPHONES! I love headphones.

They're inexpensive - comfy - fold flat(ish) in your bag and you can pick them up locally at record stores, target, walmart, etc. I love them. I have two pair. One at work that I wear almost all day and one at home. I have used to monitor music at a dance party, monitor audio during video shoots, and mix audio at home. Are they as awesome as the $100 sonys? no. Are they as "cool" as the beats by dre? no. But they are hella-awesome for sub $20. I've been rolling these for a year since my kids got a hold of my previous ones... (http://www.mygofer.com/shc/s/p_10175_27151_018W009955011012P...) which were awesome as well. They didn't fold flat, so frankly the new ones, though slightly different (and a shorter cord) are a nice upgrade.

[edit] Oh yeah - they come in white too (if you're so inclined) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/757687-REG/Sony_MDRZX1...

I totally just bought them in white. Those are fucking hip! I'll see how they work. Even if I don't like them, it's only $20.

I've rarely used headphones since I used to live alone. But now that I'll be in an office and I work in my dad's office at home a lot, I need some. If I use them a lot, I might upgrade to the others recommended in this thread

I should probably work for Sony... they really are quite nice for the price point. A better cost/benefit balance than so many others I tried. I'm not a white headphone person... but those are the first I've seen that I thought "you know... if I was ten years younger, 40 lbs. lighter and actually cool...."

They'll look so sexy on my red hair! I'll post pictures when they arrive.
