Hopefully Apple will make it more user friendly in the next update. :)

These are Sony MDR-V6 headphones (I put them on my display):
They're not noise canceling but they seal out outside noise pretty well. They sound pretty good straight out of a MacBook or an iPod. I've been using them for almost a month now and they've been improving because of the burn-in effect. On my MacBook I use an excitifier VST effect to bring out the upper harmonics. They have a higher sensitivity than some other 'phones, so I can hear a soft hiss coming from my MacBook's headphone out, but it's not too distracting. They look like Chihaya's headphones in episode four of the anime, except there's no silver ring on them, and the blue indicator is on the left instead of the right.

Oooh... Sonys. You have any other headphones that you could compare them against?
Myself, I got a pair of Audio Technica ESW-9's for at home use (had them for about a year), and they're a really nice set of cans I think. Not really bass-heavy by any stretch of the imagination, but I prefer it that way.
Thing is, I'm busy playing on my PSP, and have recently found out that listening to the built-in speakers is just... well, I can't do it anymore, the ATs are that much better.

These are my other headphones: Koss KSC75, Sennheiser MX880, Apple earbuds+mic. The Koss KSC75 comes closest to the Sonys in sound quality. With some CDs recorded in a concert hall (like this, and this) when I use the Koss 'phones it sounds like I'm on stage with the artists, it's amazing; no effects or EQ necessary. The Sonys are almost as good on those CDs, they just don't reproduce the ambience of the hall as well. This could be due to the titanium coated diaphragms, which the Sonys lack. However there are occasions where the Sonys have better instrument detail; I can hear that a flute is a wooden flute, with the KSC75 it just sounds like any other flute. For studio recordings like idolmaster CDs, where a lot of the music is produced artificially, I definitely prefer the Sonys. They've got more bass (which I do like when listening to idolmaster music) and are more powerful in general, the KSC75 sounds small in comparison.

I have a PSP too but I haven't used it in a while. I bought a bunch of games for it but I've only played two of them for a good amount of time. Those are Final Fantasy VII and Wipeout Pure (or was it Wipeout Pulse?). Can you recommend some good PSP games?
Edit: Changed the word "reverberations" to "ambience"

The DJ Max series.
Also, PSP speakers are HORRIBAD. ;___;
I think I've been spoiled.
