I recently got this office job filing documents and because I'm by myself most of the time and its soooooo quiet over there, I've decided to buy a MP3 player to listen to some music. I recently got this player and after four hours of using the headphones I start to get annoyed. They are just not all that comfortable. Wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions. They have to be inexpensive and not really huge as if I'm about to make some beats.

Right now I'm eyeing these: http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/oid/123481/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

try www.headphone.com , dude. trust me.

what kind of music do you listen to? Rock, Classical, Hip-hop, etc? It actually kind of depends... also, would you prefer earbuds, full-size, sealed/noise-cancelling, etc. there's a shitload of options.

right now i'm eyeing these... a little expensive though.

Damn i hate headphones so much i stopped using my mp3 player. I have bought a lot of expensive headphones and they all manage to somehow mess up either from the cord or something else. Just keep the stock ones lol. I really hate warranties too they are fake.

Thanks for the site, I prefer earbuds. I listen to hip-hop, trance, and Linkin Park when I'm at work. But I don't have the volume to high since I like to keep my hearing for a good 70+ years. Right now I just bought a set for $13...so far they are better than the stock ones. But I might get another pair next year.
