I prefer the B&O Form 2 but depends what you want them for. The A8 (shown in the B&O link) are very portable and the Bose headphones are not too portable.

My money would be on the form 2 - i have a pair! http://www.bang-olufsen.com/form2

Perhaps something from Sennheiser...headphones is their business.

Depends how much you want to spend vs the sound quality you would like?

Don't spend too much on headphones for use with an MP3 or iPod...they are just not that good (IMHO). smile

I have the B&O ones, although they came with the Serenata

I wouldn’t recommend for running though, they don’t sit right for lots of movement (that may well be my big ear holes hehe)

The sound is superb!!

Thanks everyone for the advice - I decided to by the B&O ones for non-running and got some cheap Sennheiser's for running in! Sorted smile

Bang and Olufsen all the way, have a fair few things from them now and for me they are amazing...audio is very personal and depends what you listen too and how much your willing to pay/what you want to compromise but when it comes to headphones for me theres no comparison...
