I've been looking for some reasonably priced, full-sized and portable headphones but needed somewhere to get some good help with finding some. I want them to sound exceptionally good without overpowering bass. I have been looking at Audio-Technicas and would like it if you guys would suggest them. And remember, reasonably priced!

The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

A very all-round headphone for me. Just the right one to take on the go or on holiday. Also as a DJ, nice noice isolation. Very durable so you don't have to wonder if it will break if you throw...

Looking for some headphones

I've been looking for some reasonably priced, full-sized and portable headphones but needed somewhere to get some good help with finding some. I want them to sound exceptionally good without overpowering bass. I have been looking at Audio-Technicas and would like it if you guys would suggest them. And remember, reasonably priced!
Set a real budget. List it. Reasonable, and price, does not go together when it comes to hifi. It's a relative relationship proportional to your acceptance is miniscule gain for massive price increase.
I assume by what you said you're ideally looking for neutral headphones that simply are good "all around" for all applications.
Some suggestions:
Open/Semi-open:
Fischer Audio FA-011
Fischer Audio FA-002
Beyer Dynamic DT880 PRO
Sennheiser HD600
Sennheiser HD598
Hifiman HE-300
Audio Technica AD900
AKG K240 MKII
Grados SR60i
Closed:
Shure SRH840
Fischer Audio FA-003
Denon D2000
AKG K272 HD
AudioTechnica A900
Pair with a soundcard like the Xonar DG ($30) if you're on a PC, otherwise, consider a separate DAC/AMP like a Matrix CUBE, Maverick TubeMagic D1, or something more portable like the Hifiman HM-101, iBasso Zero, Fiio E7, etc.
Very best,
Thanks for the quick reply!
I was thinking more of 40-60 dollar range, portable and nice-looking. But thanks anyway!
It'd be nice if someone else would give their suggestion,
Thanks
