Best Cans for <50$

Hi!  I'm totally new here and I want to help my friend to get the best sound he can get.  A little bit of bass prominence wouldn't hurt.  Thank you if you decide to help me!  (I personally use the V-Moda Crossfade LP's so I think my friend would want a sound signature that is something similar to it)

Sounds like a good candidate for the Panasonic RP-HTF600. Other budget favorites are the Samson SR850/Superlux HD681. Lots of reviews on these particular headphones here so just do a search and decide what you want.

If you can stretch your budget slightly and are not planning to use these for portable use (due to lack of isolation), the CAL! is a great choice.

RP-HTF600 are a great set, if not a little harsh on the ears.

Harsh? It's not even a neutral sounding headphone regarding treble/highrange (highs a little veiled). If you think HTF600 are harsh sounding you are just used to veiled highs headphones/IEMs in the past. Or perhaps you have removed the foam in front of the drivers?

I also suggest the Creative Aurvana Live.  They regularly go on sale at amazon for  $55.  I'm not  sure how they compare co the Crossfade LP, but I's say they have a decent amount of bass.

If you don't mind something really big, the JVC HARX700.

If you "need" something a bit smaller, the Panasonic HTF600S

That cheap Beyer headphone was supposed to be great too but idunno. http://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-DT-235-Headphone-White/dp/B001BAKTFO/

btw, my friend likes DragonForce so anything that would be nice with speed metal would also be good!

Beyerdynamic DTX300p if you need portability. But I truely recommend the DT231 if you don't mind the look. I was shocked with its price and performance, simply epic.
