A new pair of headphones?

• Yanm wrote on 2011-11-04 01:33
  Hey Nation! So, my current pair of headphones: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/webcam-communications/internet-headsets-phones/devices/8609
  
  The left ear went out, so now only the right seems to work. Not only that, but my friends seem to have a hard time hearing me when I'm using the mic. So. . .as much as I enjoy being able to customize, I think it's time for a new of headphones.
  
  Now. . .I actually like the clip-on's the best. I enjoy not having to have something on my head, being able to lay down easily and. . .well, I've had some desire to share the music with friends, without disturbing everyone else. So, I've done A LOT of research on this and the headphones that always seem to stick out are the KOSS KSC75: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106720 Do note, I don't plan on buying them from here. I know they're discontinued D:
  
  My only issue is that. . .well, the sound will leak out. I have no desire whatsoever to want to disturb people around me, as chances are I'd use these in class while working on assignments, in the library, hanging out with my friends and other things. My question is. . .is there any other type of headphones like this under $100 dollars that don't leak the sound out that much? Is there possibly some type of. . ."Earpad" that I can put over these to prevent the sound from leaking out so I won't disturb people? Oh, and as far as the mic goes, I just plan to get a Zalman zm Mic1.
  Any help is appreciated :thumb:

  Personally, I use earbuds since they're lightweight, small, and ultra-portable.
  
  I know there are those Sony earbuds you can get for $15 at an electronic store, and they're rather effective provided you don't blast your music too loud.
  
  The only downside, I guess, is that for me, they usually malfunction in exactly 1 year. (warranty is 3 months IIRC)

  Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't like earpuds at all. They tend to hurt my ears a lot and aren't that comfortable.
  
  I have one other question. I think I am sold on the KOSS KSC75, but now I'm a bit worried about the Zalman Mic. Since it's omnidirectional, does this mean that say. . .since my KOSS will leak sound out that when I'm on Skype and I'm in a call playing music, or a game. . . will the sound leakage be heard by the Mic? I'm hoping not honestly, as this in total would be only $25 dollars or so.

  For computer use, I reccommend these.

  I've heard lots of bad things about USB headsets. Although looking at the reviews for that, it does seem interesting.

  I got these inland headphones from Micro Center for 30 dollars... they are really awesome. And the mic is crystal clear according to my friends. I can't seem to find it online though...
  
  EDIT:
  
  
  FOUND IT!

  The mic wire thing is really moveable, like it's super flexible so you can move it to any position you want.
  
  AND BASS VIBRATIONS!(Can be turned off, of course)
