Looking for a new pair of headphones

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 

Ok i am really confused right now and have absolutely no idea what to buy. My budget is <200$. I listen mostly to hip hop, and a bit of rock. I would like headphones with good bass and good sound quality. I think the Klipsch Image Ones would be perfect for me but they are not over ear and i think they'd be uncomfortable. The other one i am considering are the ATH M-50s. They seem perfect but i read somewhere that they're lacking in bass, i dont know how true that is but it really concerns me. How lacking are the M50s in bass when compared to the Image Ones. These would be my first set of headphones and what i own right now are Klipsch S4 IEMs and i love them but i am looking to get even superior audio quality. I want really bothered by headphones until recently. I was still using the iPod earbud and a pair of cheap creatives but then i bought the S4s and was amazed by the quality. Now on recommendation from a friend i am getting headphones for even superior quality.

Also any other suggestions are welcome

HFi780 imo, a very good all rounder for the price.

I own the HFi-780s and they are AmAzInG!! Fantastic bass that doesn't bleed into other frequencies. Clarity is simply stunning and for $150 on Amazon, you can't really go wrong. I'm sure others don't agree with me though so be sure to listen to the suggestions of others and see if you can get your hands on a pair to give them a listen before you buy!

Hmm i'll look into the XFi 780s. I just checked out the Sony XBR 500s today and i really liked the bass on those, but the mids and highs were disappointing. I am looking for something which have bass like that and good highs and mids

If you like the bass on the xb500s, you might want to check out the xb700s which should sound a lot better in the other frequencies.

Thanks for mentioning the HFi 780, i think i have now narrowed it down to the HFi 580s(I read somewhere that the 580s are more hip hop oriented whereas the 780s are more rock oriented, they cost the same so i think i am gonna go for the 580s). Now it is either between the 580s or the Klipsch Image One. Does anyone know if the LA Guitar Center has either of these for demo??
