Thread Starter 
I'm a bit partial to Grado/Alessandro headphones myself.

I guiltily admit my only related experience is with these JVC HA-RX700's, and a pair of Motorola HT820 stereo bluetooth headphones. Until I am gifted with new cans JVC is my current brand of choice.

Skullcandy!

Erm, I actually can't choose one, I like certain headphones from lots of different brands but don't really like more than a few pairs from each brand.

For the sake of the thread, Sennheiser.

Sennheiser for their €25,- HD202 that has pretty good quality for it's price especially compared to a lot of the competitions price for the same quality.

Beyerdynamic for their DT770's fully closed headphones. Allround pleasure disregarding whatever type of music not to forget the immense quality of the sound and build and the fully closed part of the headphones is closed enough for me to be able to not wear any earplugs while drumming with the headphones on.

Don't have one. Every headphone manufacturer has a different sound, most of them good.

hm... I have owned Altec Lansing, JVC, Motorola and surprising i like JVC the most because the build quality is way better than the $40 ear buds from Altec, the $20 JVC outlasts it

Audio Technica, straight up.

I'm probably going to get run out of the thread with pitchforks because of this, but I was blown away by the quality of Beats by Dre.
Far better than I expected.

I own 2 pairs of Sennheisers though. Can't beat them for value.
