Depends on your price range, and exactly what you want. Here's my top picks in the under $100 category: If you want something sealed/isolating, get the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro. They're well built, sound great. For some people (like me) they fit a bit too tightly at first, but after a bit of use

I have a very similar story just slightly different ;) It all started for me somewhere around 2000, I think. The CD player in my car took a dump and rather than ripe up the dash or spend the cash to replace the trunk unit I purchased an Archos 2000. I then started ripping my music collection to MP
