What makes the perfect headphone experience for you? Are you partial to in ear design or close ear? Do you seek deep bass? Maybe just an inexpensive pair which puts out a good sound and looks nice with your iPod? To get some ideas on some of the better headphones out there, check out my list below for some of the best in earbuds, earcups and more.

1) Shure Personal Audio E4c Earphones
Sometimes you want the best money can buy. If this is the case, the Shure E4c is worth checking out. It incorporates components developed for professional musicians to pump out sweet music and other audio in a sound isolated bubble. It has an in-ear design, high end sound driver and advanced bass boost technology. It also has a personal fit kit to create a securer fit in your inner ear by using several types of sleeves which can seal out background noises. The total weight is just over an ounce.

2) Sennheiser HD280 Pro Headphones
The HD280 Pro from Sennheiser is the type of comfortable, full sized headphones you put on to forget about the world around you. The closed, earcup design is used by professionals in studios or at home by audiophiles. It offers nice linear sound reproduction and delivers great sound range, especially in the mid to upper areas. The HD280 Pro is well built and features a space saving design with collapsible earcups. It weighs around 10 ounces.

3) Sony MDR-IF540RK Headphones
Sony’s MDR-IF540RK headphones use wireless technology to help you move up to 20 feet away from your music source. They provide a good sound for the price, with all ranges providing a quality listening experience. The headphones feature built in rechargeable batteries and sit on a recharging stand when not in use. The stand also plugs into the sound source and acts as the transmitter. Volume control is built into the side of the headphones, eliminating the need to move from the sofa.
