Best MP3 headphones

Q
I'm going to buy an MP3 player, and I'm looking for some behind-the-neck or clip-on headphones with good bass. I don't care how much they cost; I just want good sound quality, and I'd like them to be comfortable.

We recommend that everyone replace the headphones that come with MP3 players, which typically offer poor sound quality. The Sony MDR-G74SLs are the best-sounding behind-the-neck headphones we've heard, while the MDR-Q55SLs, also from Sony, offer decent sound in a clip-on design.
