I know it's a bit early, but some places are having some killer deals already.
I just got a pair of headphones

I've had several sets of headphones over the past few years and Sennheiser makes by far the best ones. The pair I am using currently are their lowest end $40 dollar ones, and they are awesome, both in terms of quality of the headphones and the sound. These ones should be a lot better, I would assume.
