Best headphones you've ever heard/used


Well, the subject says it all I guess. I'm looking for two sets of good quality headphones.

The first one is an earphone for use with my iPod. I'm looking for a small pair of compact in-ear earphones. I take long boring flights to Asia often so it'd be nice if they were high quality and helped out with noise canceling. I've heard good things from Shure. Any other recommendations?

The second one will be for night time listening in my bed. These headphones can be big but hopefully not too heavy. I also need them to be wireless for at least 15ft.

Thanks in advance,

The X-can should work just fine, IF you can get a line level signal out of the iPod. I don't know enough about the i-pod to know if that is possible. Check with the folks on headfi-org about the details. Run a search there and you will probably find out what you want to know, immediately.
Some of the folks at head-fi really like the Qualias but the opinions have been mixed, FWIW.
Forget the adapter, you will need a headphone amp to get the Ipod to drive the relatively high impedence Senns to anything close to their full potential. W/o an amp, I would recoomend the Etymotic 4Ps which are designed to run off a "p"ortable player.
