    Headset for iPod/Mp3 Player

    My SkullCandy Hesh headsets broke a while ago and I've been looking for something with the same quality that's not earbuds.

    My one problem is I can't stand headsets that sit on your ears instead of covering them.

    I listen to a big variety of music Rap-Trance-Hardstyle-Rock-Post Hardcore so I'm not ruling out headphones that are just pure bass but I would prefer to have something that gives me very good quality without being all bass.

    I don't know of any headsets that SIT on your ears..  I mean, even the big pairs are really supposed to be sitting on the top of your head and loosely on your ears..  I've got the kind that has a little hook on them and they wrap around the outside of the ear, those work well for me and are very comfortable.

    I used to have huge problems with the big headphones making my ear hurt, but when you get them on your head properly so that the weight of the headphones are on top of your head instead of on your ears, then they're a lot more comfortable and I've been able to use 'em for 8+ hours at a time, the only problem there is that they don't stay on very well but for gaming, no problems..

     


    Onboard RAID vs. 3Ware RAID

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.

    Sorry I didn't explain that well, the type of headset design I'm looking for is like this http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/hesh-p-116.html but I just need a better lifetime brand which has been hard for me to find. The thing I'm looking for is comfort and quality.

    Also hesh are basically dj headphones so if anyone can find something like it with a better company that would be great. (They die within 1-2 months)
