Help Me

[bertine]

I need help. I want a pair of headphones for work to replace my earbuds. However, I have no idea what sort of headphones to buy nor do I have really want to research it that much. I do know that I have friends that know a lot about this sort of thing so I thought I would ask if any of you would have a good suggestion. I want to spend no more than $50 (less is better, I am still cheapfrugal but I don't want something that will fall apart quickly or be uncomfortable.

I want a pair that sort of looks like this but maybe not so huge:

Bose are total snake-oil, as in you're paying a ton of money for them to say "Bose". I have much much cheaper noise-cancelling headphones and they work phenomenally well. Keep in mind that noise cancelling only cancels ambient noise, not people being jerks.

I've always liked Koss headphones. One of the only two things the dog ate when she was a puppy that I actually cared about was the Koss headphones I'd had for like 10 years. They had a lifetime warranty (and were replaced like 3 times) but that didn't cover Acts of Dog. You can get pretty cheap Koss headphones at Best Buy, but probably not eat-covering ones

I second the Koss recommendation. I got a pair on a whim at Radio Shack years ago because they were on sale and I was pleasantly surprised.
