tell them what you like.. budget, they'll give you some really good recommendations

like for me I can't wear the in-ear style ones because of cauliflower ear
I agree. I bought that pair and all 3 or 4 of the plastic ear bud molds were extremely uncomfortable. Certainly not good for working out. Sound was average as well.

You can get a pair of these Sony's at Target or Best Buy in the $79 range ($56 on amazon). Very comfortable and great full range sound for ear buds. Great reviews as well.

If you're ever looking for at home listening though for your computer or ipod then studio headphones in the $60-$100 range would serve you well but I recommend the sony's if you're going with ear buds.

Also if anyone wants to go the studio route I've heard good things about Sennheiser
Sennheiser HD428 Closed Back Around the Ear Headphone: Shop Pro Audio & Other Musical Instruments | Musician's Friend

Also if you ever go up in budget DO NOT get Beats headphones. Every Best Buy I go to half the pairs are snapped or broken. Not worth the $300.

Yes! I work in a retail support position and the two Best Buy stores that I service both have the Dr. Dre displays with the headphones on them and they are very fragile! One has gone through 3 pair of them in a matter of weeks and they are to the point of pulling the display.

I wouldn't spend the money on them.
