Just a newbie here looking for some headphones that will have some punchy bass, that are over the ear.

 

My price range goes to 200 USD.

 

I mostly need these for mixing music, and listening to Dubstep :0

Thanks~

ATH-PRO700. I have never heard them, but they are supposed to be heavily coloured bass monsters.

You're gonna use bass monsters for mixing?

I'm mostly mixing dubstep, bits of Electronic and house... Mostly the WOBS.

Use neutral bass headphones for mixing. Enjoying a punchy and/or bass enhanced headphone is purely for playback.

What would you suggest for Natual Bass Headphones, and Bass Enhanced Headphones?

Sony MDR-7506 for mixing,

Sony MDR-XB500 for Dubstep playback.

Would it make too much of a difference if I got the Sony MDR-7506's and Audio Technica ATH-Pro700MK2?

 

Only because the AT's are a bit more slim than the Xb500's

If  you want a strict budget HARX900, I know people are going to come in and say Panasonic HTF-600, I got a set of the XB500s for around $40 used.

Couldn't say, I haven't heard those. I have however owned/auditioned a lot of headphones and the Sony XB500 are clearly the best for in-your-face sub-woofer type bass that Dubstep is unequivocally all about. Headphones like the Ultrasone HFI-780 & Pro-900 as well as Beyers DT770 and Denons D2000 have good bass and would be considered more hi-fi for their balanced sound, however the downright silly reverberating bass from the Sony XBs trump those.

If I use the DT 770's for my iPod, do I need an AMP or anything? or can I just wire them up and use em.
