What type of headphones does everyone have?

This is basicly a share post and just tell a little about them and if they are good headphones and why
I have Sony MDR-V700
They are very nice and sound perfectly clear. They are not goof for being portable headphones but they are comfortable and mainy meant for studio use but I thought if they are good enough for studio they are good enough for iPod. They have good base and I have had nothing but good experiences with them
Here is a pic of them at this link

I just bought a pair of Sony MDR-EX71SL. I really like the isolation the earplug style buds provide. I can sit on a bus and have people talking right beside me and I hardly hear a peep. Also since the cord is short I can use it with the iPod remote and not have 6 feet of cord to deal with. Overall I am very pleased with these buds.

This sound from the MDR-V700 are far from clear. Their boomy bass totally muddles up the entire sound.

I am just trying to prevent someone wasting $100+ for an inferior headphone compared to others at that price range.
