What headphones are you rockin' ?

With mobile devices being almost the norm these days, I thought it would be interesting to see what headphones/earbuds you use to accompany these devices?

I found myself to be a Skullcandy guy... two pairs of the Ink'd earbuds (this color and green)

and a set of the Lowriders...

I really dig the earbuds. They come with different sized "gummies" to fit into your ear. They fit great and sound even better AND come with lifetime warantee.

I had a slight issue with one set of buds and Skullcandy replaced them no questions asked and the process was super easy.

So, what are you guys and gals rockin?

ipod buds, which suck. Im looking for some replacement buds, and really looking forward to seeing everyone's choices. (skull candy is on the list of possibilities, but im not real fond of how far they stick out, or the colors ive seen.)
and of course my trusty, well traveled, sony full covers I mentioned in the amp thread. MDR-V600.

A few things:

The Ink'd buds come in silver and/or white if you don't like the other options.
* The new green color is different than their old green color - I don't know if that effects the other color schemes.
* Don't be fooled, they don't stick out that far, as far as I can tell.
* If you look at SkullCandy's in the store, I've seen the earbuds for as much as $40. Online retailers sell them for closer to $10.
* I actually got them at FYE around Christmas for around that price, including the Lowriders - that's why I have 3 pairs of SkullCandy's

I have some Bose Quiet Comfort 2's which sound good, but I don't really like over the ear headphones. I actually prefer earbuds and I like the ones that go down in the ear canal, I think they gave the best sound and noise reduction. However, with that said I actually rarely use them unless I am mowing the grass, washing the car or working around outside. If I am in the house I much prefer jamming on my iKick Boombox. I have used my earbuds at various times when I wanted to hear music and it was not appropriate to hear it aloud.

I purchased the Z-buds from Zagg and they sound great!

Very nice taste! I'm not quite up to snuff compared to that!!

What made you pick the QC 2's?
