When I go for a walk or listen to my mp3 on a bus etc. I use Sennheiser CX300. Awesome sound, good bass for in-ear headphones, plus they provide some isolation (not total isolation though).
If you are looking for bigger headphones I use AKG 514 at home when it's late at night and I'm practicing. 514s are semi-open, so not good for isolation. 512s would be better. There are many other AKG models out there check them out, but they are BIG to wear on street. -------------------- Guitars:

I personally like AKG, but maybe not for outdoor walking etc. Look at the KOSS Porta Pro. They have been the king of headphones for about 30 years. Really good and cheap headphones. Well, SportaPro/PortaPro is what I've been using, but they don't provide very good isolation I think. They broke so my dad switched them in for some PioneerSE-MJ3's http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Pro...adphones/SE-MJ3 Do they look good to you, does any of you have them? -------------------- My stuff:

Just to clarify , you seek for headphones not small earpieces ? Regarding hi-fi headphones I use sennheiser HD 465 and I pretty pleased with them!

I recently checked out these earphones. I think earphones are definitely the way to go if you use them when being mobile, and they shut off all external noise. But be careful, they do isolate the sound, which can be dangerous sometimes. And they have a decent sound quality as well, not mainstream anyway.

AKG phones rock, no doubt. Personally, I just got a pair of the Shure SRH 840 headphones and I'm really impressed with them. Even at low volumes they are shockingly close to my full mixing speakers with sub. The bass response is really impressive without being muddy and mids/highs are clear. I don't like to turn them up to high as they actually start causing pain at high volume as they transmit a LOT of energy to the ear. So be careful with any pro phones.
