Such a big part of the music experience is how do we listen to it, so I thought I'd see what kinda headphone people use to to listen to their music.
I use Ultrasone HIFI-2200 ULE headphones. I'm still burning them in, but they have sweet bass, and sound awesome.
Wireless. RCA WHP141. I did notice that there was some drop in performance between my wired ones but the wireless convenience more than makes up for it.
the Ultrasone headphones have similar length, and I still wear them in public.
If you don't want to look like you're trying to contact the mothership while you're waiting for the bus you could look at the V-moda vibe.

Best headphones around as far as I'm concerned
I've got Grado Labs SR60 headphones:
They don't look like much, but they sound awesome. I don't wear them on the bus because there's no point - there's so much background noise on the bus you can't get the full effect of good headphones. On the bus I use these:
Panasonic RP-HT65S. They're cheap as hell at just $20, but they have good highs and lows (I've never been satisfied with the lows from earbuds), I don't look like a douche wearing them in public, and I don't care if they get lost. The only downside to them is a few years ago Panasonic decided it would be a GREAT idea to jam a volume control in the middle of the cord. I have a volume control on my player already so it's redundant and annoying, and it's a break in the actual cable so if the cable snags on something, it snaps there.
I have the Sennheiser HD 650
When listening to music on my IPod or BlackBerry I use ScullCandy ear buds. With my desk top I use some cheap Logitech head set with mic.
Bose In-Ear
Shure ear buds, fuckin' awesome.
I almost bought Sennheiser headphones.
For work in clubs I use Pioneers HDJ-2000 (I used to use there 1000 model)
If its for use at home then the best ive had (and still use but there a bit old now) are Bose (cant remember the model number)
The best!
