nsomnac said:IMO it would depend on the purpose. I've probably got no less than 5 - 6 sets of headphones all with a designated purpose.
Generally they fall in to following categories:
Working outdoors in the yard: cheap buds like Skullcandy.
Workout: Shure EC-3 buds.
Jet travel : Sony NC-120? closed ear with noise cancellation
Turboprop travel: Shure EC-3 buds (active cancellation doesn't work!)
Office Work in active environment (subject to interruptions): Sennheiser open ear.
Quiet Work: Sony w/ NC or my MDR-V6.
Sounds like you have a short list. If it's your only pair - get a decent pair that you won't be too upset if they break. If it's just an extra pair - spend according to the abuse and budget they'll receive. IMO - until you start spending >$75 (~£40 I'm estimating from my last trip over the pond) sound quality doesn't change much from $20 - $75; pretty much all same specs - you're paying for fit and a marketing dept. Even then, if you're over 35 yrs old - the odds are against you if your hearing is still good enough to appreciate the pricier pairs.
TLDR; if you can hear the mosquito ringtones - a high range pair is still worth a listen.
Good luck - and may your hearing loss be minimal!

I prefer them to my Bose, sennheiser and Beats in ear headphones. The reviews suggest I'm not alone.

cruciate said:Really glad you like them. I'm really happy with mine too.
What I love is they are the first headphones I have that don't need the volume high to enjoy them.

I can't seem to find any.
