$60-100 Headphones

What type of music do you listen to most?

Sony MDR V6 is a very good headphone in your price range for that kind of music.

AKG K81DJ? they are good looking to me.

Well, it was a personal preference lol. 

What about the ultrasone Hfi-450?

I've never listened to those AKG headphones.

I do know that the reviews on them have been very mixed, at best.

If you want design oriented phones that sound good, like the

AIAIAI T1 or V Moda Crossfade, you're up in the $200 range.

The reason I recommended the Sony's is because they're a

widely respected "classic" that's comfortable, well made, and sounds good -

with enough bass to carry the kind of music you like.

Some other options are the Shure 440 and Audio Technica ATH M40.

Sennheiser has some entries in the price range like the 448 - but I'm

not familiar with them soundwise.  Perhaps someone will post about them...

The MDR V6 will do that. 

They have plenty of bass, though they're not "bottom heavy" per se.

(Their sound is fresh in my mind because I listened to mine just last night.)

I bought them on the advice of a professional recording engineer - they were the first quality

headphone I bought - and I've never had an interest in selling them - even though I've bought many

other headphones since then.

There are phones out there specifically designed to produce whomping big bass,

but the midrange clarity suffers as a result.  Those types of phones are very inaccurate

by design, but some people like their sound...not me...

Also take a look at the Creative Aurvana Live! if you're looking at closed back headphones in this price range.

today i had a chance to compare the sony mdrv6 and shure440. the shure sounds like a better mdrv6, rightfully becuase it does cost a bit more, but they are both balanced, flat monitor type headphones. i dont think you would enjoy this type of headphone with your music selections, you need more bass.  even though the mid range is hurt by too "boomy" bass like stated above, its not to the degree you may think, and even then, most of the good bassy headphones nowadays arent too boomy

though, for me personally, the sony mdr had more than enough of bass for being a "studio monitor" which is weird, a noticeable amount more than the shure 440, so you may enjoy them, but not the shures

the safe route is to try a dj, personal type of headphone

the senn hd448 are one of these

these are another great choice, though they are advertised as dj headphones, im not sure if they have a "dj" sound signature, or a balanced, monitor like one

nevermind, even though advertised as dj some guys says this about them

If you check my other reviews you will find that i've been using the Triple Fi 10 for the past 3 years. I eventually wanted to switch to a regular headphone due to getting sick of putting foam in my ears. I basically tried dozens of headphones and stuck with the Sennheiser HD-600, Shure SRH-840 and Audio Technica ATH-M50. The later two had their issues and were not perfect. Just as I thought I was done with headphones I went into a local store and found this headphone. I took it home and was really impressed with it. It's very neutral and does not seem to do too much of any one thing. There is a lot of detail, but it's not excessive in any way. Everything is crystal clear. There is bass, but many many be disappointed in it's bass. It has a decent amount of bass, but it's not a bass heavy phone. If you want a headphone with lots of bass, look elsewhere. It has much more bass then say the Audio Technica ATH-AD700, but not as much as the Shure SRH-840.

no problem, someone may even suggest their favorite v shaped can in your price range?
