Hello all. I am posting today to try and find the best suited "on ear" headphones for my friends dad. Its a Christmas present and he wants them to kick ass. He was going to get him a pair of beats but i said hell no! His father likes country r&b bluegrass and some rap. I have a pair of sennheiser ie 8's and personally love them, But hes pretty sure pops wants on ear headphones. Any suggestions on a great on ear set? My friend heard my ie 8's and likes them, so something with similar quality an maybe a touch more bass. thanks fort any help given in this matter and good listening to all!
