Aural ecstasy
I have been looking for good set of closed around-the-ear headphones for a long time. After reading tons of reviews I settled on a set of Bose Tri-Port cans. These are not noise canceling headphones--I didn't like the idea of having to change batteries regardless of how long they last.
This was quite possibly the best sub $150 purchase I have made in a long time; right up there with my Boss TU-2 Tuner. Pair these babies with my recently procured Apogee Duet audio interface and you are enveloped in a world of aural ecstasy. Bass hits are punchy and deep, highs come through clean and crisp, and mids are pronounced, but not overbearing and muddy. The Tri-Port's are quite comfortable to wear, and they block out some ambient noise; my new best friend during coding sessions at work =D.
