Small thing I'd like to add though: for people listening to a lot music (meaning: often and for long periods of time), do prefer a headset to headphones.
Long story short, headphones sound isolation is poor, making you increase the volume. In-ear headphones are even worse because they increase pressure in the ear.
Also, prefer a headset that encompasses your whole ear, that's more comfortable on the long run and it also provide a better isolation.
My last advice would be to go for a wireless headset (like a bluetooth one), these are quite affordable today and, again, if you use it for long periods of time, not having a cable is a true relief.
Awesome article!

Take care of your ears and earing :)
Totally agree. Wireless has some cons for me, but it is really handy.
