I think anyone who loves music owes it to themselves to find a good set of headphones. There is so much out there and so many people stop their search as soon as they see the name Bose! Don't get me wrong, I think Bose puts out quality products, but there is just so many other things out there. As for me, I own a few sets of headphones that I can offer some info on if anyone's interested. Otherwise, you can hop over to head-fi.org for infinitely more information!

What do you guys have? What do you like? What do you think are the best headphones for under $100? Love to hear what people are listening to.
FYI, the Yuin and Head Direct models are IEM/earbud type earphones respectively. They are less expensive and sound better than the Bose in ear phones if anyone is wondering.

Best Earphones Under/Around $100
Another vote for the Westone UM1. They sure beat the crap out of these Bose "in ear" phones.
I would agree, but my right bud stopped working on me. Really big disappointment.
Although I went "big-spender" and got myself a pair of Shure SE530s this spring (which I absolutely love), I used and thoroughly enjoyed a pair of Etymotic Research ER-6i 'phones for more than 2 years. No earth-shattering bass, but excellent clarity and soundstage, and very efficient. Excellent sound isolation with customizable tips. You can get these things for around $100 (ok, maybe just a bit over) at amazon or other online shops. My wife is now using them and she loves them. Highly recommended!
Just bought a pair of re0 from Head Direct. They are a marked step up from the re2 and the best iem's I have. The sound compares very well with full sized cans.
