Co-worker is back to eating 17 bags of croutons a day and my cheapy earbuds from TJ Maxx broke the other day. Any recommendations for a decent set of headphones in the $50 range? I think I'd like to give over-the-ear headphones a shot this time.

Listen to music at work is like stealing from your boss.

Big fan or Skull Candy headphones. I think they have best sound for a lower price.

Koss gold headphones, best ones I've owned. I got mine free when i bought my wife a suitcase so i imagine they're in that range.

Edit:

Lol never mind. I googled them. $150. Pretty sweet that i got them free.

Skullcandy is the best bang for the buck regarding earbuds IMO, although I don't have any experiences with their over the ears.

$50 sounds a bit tight for decent over the ears.

Looking right now, most Skull Candy models look ridiculous....something for kids. Their Roc Nation Aviator over the ears look badass though, but $100+.

I'm not an audiophile or anything. I just don't want a piece of crap set.

I bought a decent pair of Sony over the ears at best buy like 3 years ago for like $25. Still work fine. I'm sure pretty much anything you buy will be ok unless this person is within 3 feet chomping away loud as can be.

She's about 3 feet away. Our desks butt up against each other.

I know shit about headphone quality, but I do know that Marshall's/TJ Maxx always has skull candy headphones for $10-$25.

Sony makes a pretty good over the ear headphone for like 25-30 bucks.

Dik.

For future reference, doing anything at work except on the actual work will be like stealing from your boss...and it's a joke.

I know...."ok".

Is stealing pens and paper from work like stealing from your boss?

Yes, by definition. Unless they are free, then, no.

If your boss steals pens and paper, is he stealing from the company or stealing from himself?

So you can't multitask? I know I can do my job and listen to music at the same time.

Indeed. And sometimes more effectively, especially at times like this when it seems like a co-worker is reading out loud to someone else about things like celebrity birthdays and other nonsense because she's a stupid bitch who thinks everyone must care about whatever her empty little mind is occupied with at any given time. Which is a whole 'nother thing as far as "stealing from the boss" goes, but that's a story for another day.
