Introduction
The Sony MDR-Z1000s ($549 MSRP) are a mid-range set of over-ears that, while extremely durable, have some glaring flaws in their sound performance compared with their competition. They are definitely well-suited to perform as a set of headphones that stay near the computer, but there are other headphones that you may want to look at before you make an impulse buy, depending upon what you want in a set of cans.

$99.954Sennheiser CX 680i
The Sennheiser CX 680i in-ear headphones are a decent set of lower-mid-range headphones with a remote & mic. They don't have the best quality and they're not quite as rugged as we would've expected from a set of in-ears aimed at the gym crew, but they're a great value at $100. Read full 13-part review
