$150? Jesus Christ man you're going to be sweating in/on/over them. Plus you're going to have wind whooshing past and you'll be breathing heavy. Any nuances that you might gain by buying expensive 'phones are going to be completely lost.

If you really have to spend $150 just buy 15 pairs of cheap Skullcandys.
Tele / Strat / LP / Sheraton
Into -> Pedals (too many)
Into Plexi clone / '68 Bassman / JCA 100 / '65 Ampeg M-15
Into 2x12 with Green Beret / Reaper 55hz OR 4x12 with G12T75s

Good deals with: Ovid9, paul88lx, Y0UNGBL00D, boonestunes, Laura from Valvequeen.

Headphone prices have fucking skyrocketed the last couple years. Monster and Beats Audio joined the game and ran up the prices... a shitty pair of either are $100.

I personally use my old set of Shure SCL2's. They outlasted the Shure SE4s that I had and have been going strong for 5 or 6 years now. Bonus points for not being able to hear people listening to shitty dance music at the gym, dudes grunting or anything else except my music really.

I use these.

The sound quality is not amazing and you'll have to boost the bass on your ipod/phone, but
its the only ones that stay in my ears snugly and hold up to excessive sweating.

Great sound quality, stay stuck in the ear well, the cord doesn't tangle and they're cheap.
