Headphones are a pair of small loudspeakers, or less commonly a single speaker, with a way of holding them close to a user's ears and a means of connecting them to a signal source such as an audio amplifier, radio or CD player. They are also known as stereophones, headsets or, colloquially cans. The in-ear versions are known as earphones or earbuds.
--- Taken from Wikipedia

Many would think which headphone used does not affect the quality of sound made. But no, that's wrong, in fact; it does. Depending on the sensitivity of the headphone, if it cancels noise or not, with mic or not, earbuds or not; they are all the factors of the quality of sound that is produced from the audio you're listening/making/reviewing.

Other than that, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to headphones; earphones, headsets (headphones + mic), lightweight and heavyweight, full ear coverage or not -- so let's share opinions here; no? If anyone's wondering what kind of headphones to buy, or are considering, here's the top 10 best headphones list. If you're tight on money, here's your list.

I personally would love to have an Audio Technica headphones/headset, but they're far too expensive here in Malaysia. (Around RM150-190 price range, I can afford; but I won't eat for days.) And I prefer noise-cancelling headphones and that it'd cover my ears at least almost completely, (I also would want my headphones pink) so guess what I got? Japanese mix-style headphones, my model is H009.

Spoiler:

So, discuss.

Atm I use Lowrider Skullcandy headphones but it sucks sometimes when mixing usually when vocals hit peaks. I'd buy new ones but I'm waiting for them to break. xD

I also have some audio-technica stainless steel ones (ATH-ES7 WH)
but I don't usually use them because although they have really excellent sound quality, it's a bit too loud and insulated for my ears. I recently just recovered from an ear infection so my right ear still has some ringing in it. 8DD;;

I also have AKG K315 earphones that I use for listening to music on my iPod and for my recording sessions (for hearing myself and the music too). Pretty good, I'd say. It has a volume control and very nice bass. owo

I have a few other earphones and headphones lying around my house xDD;;
Those three are the ones I mostly use

I spend a lot of money on these kinds of things usually. I usually splurge so I really don't want to tempt myself to buy a new set until one of my old ones break.

Sony MDR-V900HD

I wanted some studio-ish reference headphones.

When mixing with headphones, its best to either have multiple types since each will sound different due to the different traits or get a pair thats very neutral (flattest frequency response). Most good sounding headphones start at the sub-100 bucks.
Just stay away from major "big" names like Bose, Skullcandies, and the Dre beats. Those are consumer-grade products, not professional.

AKG K702 is what I got on me. Quite a piece, what you feed it is what it'll give. But it has very light bass response, due to it being an open-end headphone but those are my types. These will eat your wallet. Costing around $250 on Amazon, not to mention needing an amp and dac to make it perform at its best.
