hey there guys, im looking for a headphone that sounds good with trance, electro, dubstep, etc and is also fairly comfortable for long listening sessions... I don't have the extra money for the amp because im in school. any suggestions would be great, thx

You might want to take a look at the Fostex T50RPs (along with the accompanying thread here on Head-Fi). I can't say from personal experience yet--mine are still one their way from Utah--but with some relatively cheap mods they're supposed to be pretty fantastic.

These are new headphones but sound great for EDM. Thread here. http://www.head-fi.org/t/621063/the-new-jvc-ha-s500-40mm-carbon-nanotubes#post_8581957
