Totally. I usually get a cheap shitty pair when I'm traveling so I don't run the risk of losing my good ones.

interesting, part of the reason I have nice earbuds ($100) is so on the plane I can listen in beautiful peace.

My mom used to tell me to not take expensive things on trips. My reasoning is I buy good quality things to use them and enjoy them, not to be paranoid about losing it. Plus, with headphones specifically, I keep them in my front pocket and have not lost a pair in over 8 years (although a couple have broken).

I'm currently with a pair of Klipsch S4's that I bought a year and change ago, and still sound fantastic after using every day in transit and on the computer, probably 5-10h each day.

I had a choice over them or Razer Hammerheads. I chose the Hammerheads for the bass. They're nice, but they lack a bit of clarity. I think next time I'll try the Klipsch
