Due to some people complaining about turning on the volume at all on my speakers, I've been pretty much forced to go to headphones. I'd picked up a pair of Altec Lansing AHP-5 computer headphones, mainly because they had a volume knob. Unfortunately, they weren't all that great. They weren't the worst thing I've used, but I've certainly had better sound solutions. Additionally, they were the kind that wrap around the back of your head and over your ears. Since I wear glasses (+1 nerd point), extended use left the top part of my ears sore.
