TriPorts are alright. I went headphone shopping a while back when a part on my really nice ones broke, cause I needed a good pair for the trip down to Florida with my High School band.
Triports have a pretty good amount of bass but I thought that the treble was improperly tuned and was overbearing on songs that are supposed to be all bass (speaker test songs, 'bass boom' songs, etc.). Instead, I bought the Sony DJ model headphones(

btw, my headphones with the broken part? they were an older model of these stereo monitor ones (

LoL...and the funny part is that I returned the $150 DJ ones as soon as my dad bought the replacement part to the old ones. He even got the old ones re-padded for me...now they rock!
