Hi people, I'm looking for a budget pair of full-size headphones. My budget is $50-100. I'd prefer if the headphones had a flat response to them. Thanks

Question?
I know everyone knows that beats are a rip off for what they actually do...
But the fact of the matter is, they actually look good to wear!
For the record I'm new to this and know very little about headphones BUT I've been looking around for some good headphones with nice bass for "dance" type music and almost everything that I've read on here are totally hideous and you would just look like a right Muppet wearing them in public!
You guys never walking around town and a someone walks past with dinner plates on the side of his head, bopping away to himself and you think to your self "ha what a Muppet!" because the fact of the matter is, most headphones are to be used locked away in a dark room
Someone please help me find some good headphones with excellent bass for dance music for around the price tag of beats studios that actually look good to wear (like the beats)
Thanks
I would really have been considering it if I had lived in the States.But the prices in the EU is quite much higher. So I will try to buy second-hand. Have seen that they in the UK make a package with my headphone amp and either Prestige SR325is ore Reference RS 1i. So I guess it's a okey combination? The question is how much better RS1i is. I have read some reviews and some say that the difference is huge, while others barely hear any difference. I am also interested Alessandro MS-Pro. As some said to be better and more neutral than RS1i but by others more boring and with a thinner sound. Looking for something that sounds completely different than my K-701.

*EDIT* also i forgot to mention that they need to have minimal noise leakage as theres nothing worse that hearing the music coming from peoples headphones on the bus, soooo anoying haha
Thanks

Alessandro MS-1i. You don't need the FiiO, but I found it a very good pairing with these cans. Great for the bass boost.
Dammit I'm back to this thread, not like that wasn't predicable with my last purchase of the Q701's. Those phones have satisfied my unacceptable obsession with tegan and sara's live recordings, and I plan on getting a set of HD-25's for recording drums, but there is one little teensy section of music that is left without satisfaction, and that I'm not sure that headphones can fulfill the desire for at all. I've got a set of Audio Pulse Revo 10D2's in a car that would require quite a bit of my weekend time to get running again (I would just rather spend my time with a piano), So I'm left wondering how much would I have to spend to get the same level of control as low as those can go. For comparison the Q701's will go exceptionally low for open phones. My test track is Bass I love you which has a 7Hz low note, the lowest that I know off and my 10D2's can barely pull it off and is almost not noticeable with the Q701's. I want to know, is there a set of phones out there that can give you the same ominous sense of dread and loss as the super low rolling helicopter note's in the beastie boys track live wire, and would anyone be willing to trade car audio equipment for them? I've got a new hobby of making music and can't afford that along with my car audio setup, but I can't live without my really unethical obsession with bass.
Even if you don't have what I want, what would you trade for Audio Pulse Revo 10D2's + sundown Audio D1500 + Pioneer PRS720's and some quality wiring (streetwires 4channel RCA and Power + knukonceptz Power (00 guage) wire. I realize that this isn't a car audio forum, and maybe I'll loose some money with a trade here, but I don't want to spend the money to finish my car audio system but I can't live without those sounds So if there are headphones that can produce those sounds I would be fine with a deal slanted not in my favor. I'm not using this equipment at all right now so it's going to waste. For those that don't know the Revo 10D2's are not kicker style bass monsters, they can go very low ported correctly but require unreasonably long ports to do so (55"-60"X 10"X4"), sealed they sound VERY tight and controlled, and honestly so much better for kicks than the Q701's, really, I've done both ported and sealed, just keep em sealed it's bliss.
If no one is interested in a trade I still need to know If that can be satisfied with headphones. The car thing I would rather not spend my money on being that it won't ever be detailed enough in the mid range, and at home I can't crank it with speakers.
