Headphone Reviews
I just bought a new pair of Turtle Beach EarForce X12s, so why not? 
Creative WP300 Bluetooth Headphones
Pros: Good sound, no wires to get tangled up
Cons: Can be finicky to connect, only decent bass, quite expensive ($99)
My brother and I each got a pair of these for Christmas. I was expecting to be able to get right on my PC and be blasting tunes into my eardrums within 5 minutes. Wrong. It took 2 hours to get the things to actually connect once they are paired. The sound is almost worth it, however, with great high and midrange. The bass is not quite as good, but much better than the JVC Gumy earbuds I had been using for a few months.
Rating: 3/5
Turtle Beach EarForce X12
Pros: Excellent sound quality at all frequencies, great build quality, cheap for the quality ($50)
Cons:Distinctive buzz at moderate volume when nothing is playing
I decided the WP300s were not quite good enough for gaming, so I picked up these at Best Buy. One of the best computer-related decisions of my life. After being so used to the only adequate bass from the WP300s, I was (and still am) blown away by the capability of these, especially when they are only half the price. Every frequency and pitch sounds excellent. My only complaint is that there is a quite loud buzz at moderate volume when nothing is playing. It is easy to avoid however. I have not tested the telephone operator-style microphone much yet.

Re: Headphone Reviews
I think we need a general review topic. On topic: I personally think $100 on headphones is extremely pointless.

Yea we do. I'm not going to make it though.
If $100 for headphones is pointless or not depends on if the headphones sound almost lifelike. The WP300s do not, so they should be in the $50-75 range in my opinion. The X12s sound BETTER than real life in my opinion, so they should be more like $200. I'm glad they're only $50 though. :3

No description needed, his description is pretty good, I still just need to add the choppy audio part.
Rating: I have to give these a 3/5.

These headphones are BOSS. These headphones are his, so now I want to buy another set of these, or at least buy these from him.

The Apple earbuds are not that good. They have no bass and sound tinny.

How so? I think good sound sound is well worth the money. Granted, if you're not a serious audiophile it's probably not worth it to go spend several hundred dollars on headphones, but you'd be surprised the difference a good moderately-priced set can do. My earbuds (Klipsch Image s4) and headphones (Sennheiser HD 448) are worth every penny to me.

Exactly. I am not a serious audiophile, but I don't like my music sound like it is playing from a cellphone speaker, which iPod earbuds do sound like.
(Dang, HD 448s are pretty expensive. They must be awesome though. )
