To anyone here that listens to music through headphones...

If you're anything like me, you've tried several brands of headphones to get the best sound quality.. For the past year I've been using Bose, because they were the only brand that could ever deliver the sound quality I expected... Until now...

Rockford Fosgate just released their "Punch Plugs" and all I can say is WOW. These things are everything they say they are AND SOME. AMAZING sound quality, bass that makes you wonder where it's coming from and incredible crisp high volume that really bring everything out of the music you like to listen to.

I'll tell you this, I'll never put my Bose on again, THESE ARE THE HEADPHONES TO HAVE!!!!

If you don't believe me, and you spend a lot of time when your phones plugged in, give them a shot and trust me you will not be disappointed!!!

$100 is a lot of coin if you go through a set every couple of months like me, since I mostly listen to headphones while I'm running or working out.

I train 5 days/week and run 7 days/week (These are in my ears for 2+ hours/day). Believe me, I know what you mean, but my Bose have lasted almost a year and they are still going strong..

I can get these for $80 at my buddy's shop.

The sad thing is I have 12 pair of (different brands) headphones on my counter here that I'll never use again... They all raved great sound quality but suck... the only two pairs I'd ever recommend (other than these) are Bose and Kicker.

So you would know then....is there a huge difference between "plug" type heaphones vs. the more conventional earphone types? As you may have guessed from my previous post, I usually stick the cheaper ($10- $20 ish) stuff and those tend to be earphone style.

Well, generally as a rule of thumb the "over the ear" headphones produce amazing quality. They make you feel like you're in a sound proof room with nothing but your tunes...

The earbud style phones tend to let others hear what you're listening to, at high volumes, have ZERO bass and basically just make your ears hurt... The "earbuds" that come with the IPhone/Itouch/IPods are a joke.. They aren't good enough to tie twigs together for trash day.. Not even a good starter set...

I hate that you have to spend $50+ for a GOOD set of headphones.. it's not right, but it's like anything else, you want good quality you're going to pay for it..

If you want an eye opener, try to buy a professional set of digital studio speakers.

Kind of hard to strap those to your ears while your running Dave.
