Looking for some new headphones, on a low budget

I tried posting in the massive new headphone thread but its chaos in there so i think itll be easier if i had some personal advice :)

 

I listen to mainly Hip Hop, Dubstep and Pop

 

Im not too sure what the type of sound im after is so ill describe it, i love some crisp mids and highs but the headphones need to have a bit of bass to them, the bass doesnt have to be exaggerated, just a little thump

 

Budget £70 tops better if it was more around £50 Used or New

 

Over Ears or Neckbands preferably as phones like the px100 dont really appeal to me

 

All i have at the moment are Sennheiser HD202s which i cant wear for more than 10 mins as theyre so hot and uncomfortable, Logitech UE200Vi which i love and some broken Senn PX60s which were great but a little muddy imo

 

Was looking at

Audio Technica AH700/500

iGrado

Grado SR60/80

Loads of different senns and beyers

 

But i dont know which ones offer what i want

 

Thanks in advance

The Grado's will be fairly detailed for their price range, but cannot be described as warm.  They have an emphasis on the higher ranges...mids to treble and are more accurately described as bright.  Bass is punchy, rather than deep and reverberating. 

 

ATH 700's will have even less bass presence. 

 

One choice that fits the bill is the Creative Aurvana Live! 

 

Another headphone in this price range you should consider would be the Sony MDR ZX700.  Amazon UK has it for 65 pounds, shipped.
