Some of the best headphones on the market, IMHO.

I have different headphones for home stereo, PC, mp3, travel/plane. All Koss.

They are steak sauce.

Check out www.headphone.com. They do very good reviews of a lot of headphones as well as sell them.

I can't speak for any wireless headphones but if you can go into detail about the regular headphones you want I can offer some suggestions. Stuff that would help would be:

Cost you want to spend.

What will you be using to drive (power) the headphones?

What type of music (or other audio) that you plan to use them for?

Type of headphone:
In ear monitor (earbuds)
Sport (wraparound small earphones)
Traditional over the head earphones
Small or Large
Closed or Open

Anyway these are some of the things you need to know before picking a good set of headphones.

I agree with Stealth on what your purposes for the headphones will be. Each purpose has a different structure requirement for me with headphones. My personal preference is a full wrap around because my ears are very sensitive to volume and pressure from partial over ear designs. Earbuds can be very damaging to the inner ear both physically and audio'ly (focusing sound straight through the auditory canal towards your tympanic membrane without any diffusion).

Earbuds for working out, because anything else just looks silly. And because little power is needed from MP3 player to drive them.

Full wrap over the ear for travel (noise reduction) and home stereo (best sound quality). Not to mention no long term pressure/pain from unit pressing down on my outer ear.

Partial over the ear for PC/phone so I can hear whats going on around me.
