Good ones sound better, and often they are larger and fit on the head using less tension. I wear glasses, so this is really important to me. Cheap (or small) headphones sandwich my ears between the headphone and my glasses and give me very bad headaches. Also consider a DAC (digital audio converter) and a headphone amplifier. I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880s and a Fubar III DAC/headphone amplifier combination. I love them both dearly. You can go totally crazy with it (check out headphones.com) but I think $200 to $500 invested in good headphones is well worth it. Just be sure not to roll over the cord with your chair! -jacob Yes, good headphones are really worth it if you are in a cube!!!
