ok i came here looking for headphones but most of the reviews i read said that a good number were lacking bass

 

as an avid hiphop/rap listener what are a good  pair headphones designed for mainly listening to rap and hip-hop music or have good quality for listening to that type of music. i know a good number of you might mention the beats but to me they are just not worth the money

It would help if you had a pricerange listed and if you would like closed or open headphones.

I think your sentiments about the Beats and their value is fairly consistent with this forum's overall opinion - I'd be surprised to see them suggested. There are headphones that are known for substantial bass impact; from FR graphs and specs the Sony MDR-XB1000 should be the best candidate (I have never heard the monster). I would be more inclined to suggest Sennheiser products at various price points (starting with the HD 280 and ending with the HD 600) given what you've stated; what kind of budget and so on would be helpful for future posters.

Yeah, price point would help but just for starters, a lot of Sony headphones in the XB line are known for their powerful bass.

On any budget I would still suggest the Sony XB500, if you like punchy bass or the XB700 if you like deep, deep bass.

my price range is from $0-$150 ( maybe 200 but i don't want to go past 170). anything more than that is a little bit overkill for me

Sony MDR-XB700 or XB1000 if you can find a deal.

Yeah, the XB700 or the 1000 if you can find a deal like croozer said. The 700's bass is well renowned. Pretty much like what the beats should of been....only dipped in price 200 dollars or so.

Did that person actually listen to them and has also listened to other headphones?

 

Headphone suggestions:

AudioTechnica M50

Ultrasone DJ1 & PRO 650

Vmoda M80

Beyer DT770 PRO

Panasonic HTF600

 

Very best,
