Hello. This is my first move into a more expensive pair of headphones. All along I had my eyes on Beats by Dre Studios but after seeing this site and others I definitely ruled them out. I checked out headphone.com and the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 was in their top 10 headphones list. I was set on those but then I saw the Ultrasone HFI-580. I listen to almost all hip-hop. Eminem's my favorite artist so I was looking at bass for the M50s and the reviews were good. My price range was anything below $200. These two pairs seemed like the best in that range. Thoughts?
