What kind of cans are you guys rocking?

I bought some Goldring NS-1000's a while ago off the back of some good feedback on this forum about them.  Noice cancelling jobbies. 

They're pretty decent.  I tend to use them more when I'm on the computer than anything else.  Helps give me a little edge as I can more erasily tell where gun fire, footsteps etc are coming from  :smiley:

Beats are over-rated in my opinion  :huh: and so are Bose. Tried them all and thought they were not that great.

Beats are a perfect example of something that's done well due to a marketing and having them seen with the right people, cheap build quality and lacklustre sound quality, with an inflated price tag.

My next pair will be a set of Shure SRH840

They are pricey but i like them i have used many sets also but i have to say the build quality of the solo hd's are fantastic and out of 4 sets i tried ranging from £50 to £150 these were def the best IMO and these were not the most expensive..
