Personally would never go back to using headphones. They have higher quality for cheaper but I always hated having things in my ears or on my head
Sound quality aside, a good pair of headphones should be so cushiony you can barely feel it sitting on your head.
Get a Takstar Pro 80 and you'll know what I mean. Aluminum built, they come with both leather and velvet ear cups and a soft leather headband. Very decent, warm-ish sound, for less than $100; even most audiophiles on head-fi appear to like it and can't get their heads around as to why it is so cheap.
Undoubtedly one of the best investments I've made in recent years.
Ok but can I lie down on my bed with them on? Serious question...
I might have to get one of those for when I'm out of the house though. Using in-ear Samsung headphones at university is becoming a bit of problem.
Even though they are reasonably flexible, lying down on your side is not a good idea like with any other headphones, but you can lie down on your back without feeling any discomfort. Depending on the shape of your head they could be slightly firm in the beginning, but they don't need long to adjust. Also, if you happen to have above average sized ears, you might want to look at another model that has larger ear cups. Pro 80's ear cups are medium-sized.
