Or even what should I be looking for when buying headphones?

Don't want to go and buy the dr dre beats! I'm assuming half the price there goes on marketing

What kind of music do you like?

Where will most of your listening be done, what are your sources?

With a few questions answered we can help a lot more efficiently ^_^

Most of my listening is (possibly illegally) done in the car!

Also on plane journeys and bus. Walking sometimes too.

Please don't use headphones in the car.

You put at risk not just yourself but others too.

How is it different to listening to a loud radio?

You shouldn't listen to loud radio either, but at least with radio there's still a remote chance you'll hear outside noise.

If you have closed/in-ear headphones on, you can NOT say you're putting your full attention on the road.
Which is where your full attention should be when you're driving a 1'500kg slab of metal at 70km/h.

I've heard ambulance, fire brigade etc easily when listening on head phones.

Anyways, back on topic, any other suggestions?
