Koss KSC75 vs. Yuin G2A vs. PX100

Which of the three do you like better. I mainly listen to hip-hop, rap, r&b, and pop. Decent bass would be appreciated. Also, I do some moderate gaming, so I would like the one with a better soundstage. In addition, I would like headphones that look nice; the good looking headphones to me are the G2As. I know that there will be trade-offs with getting a portable headphone, but I am willing to deal with it. I'm looking for headphones that are the best bang for the buck in the <$50 price range.

Thanks.

KSC75 if you're on a budget. I've heard very good things about the G2A though.

Check the review in my sig for impressions of all three. The G2As are a step above the others overall, but they don't have the bass you are looking for. You may want to look at the AKG K81Dj as they have tighter bass than all of the above, and can be found for just a few bucks above your budget. Otherwise, the PX100 or KSC75 will both do alright. For a stylish option, look at the ATH-ON3, but only if you think they will be comfortable for you to wear.

Really??? The K81DJ have some of the worst bass I've ever heard. Even after internal dampening and a recable, the bass was still fuzzy. EXTREMELY sloppy. ATH-ES7 are 10x better, you can find them refurbished for $65-70.

My set just has the foam removed, and I think the bass is fine (after significant burn-in, of course). Certainly tighter than the KSC75 and a bit tighter than the PX100s.

ES7's are significantly above the OP's price range. That and I can never get as comfortable in them as the K81 and Senn HD25, even with the headband mod.
