Which headphones would be better for mainly Hip Hop and R&B? The Ultrasone HFI- 780, Pro 550, Pro 580's or the Ath m50's? Or any you guys would suggest. I have a budget of around $150.

Ultrasone HFI-580 for clear audio with a strong bass presence or the HFI-780 for a more balanced and refined sound, with slightly less bass than the HFI-580.
HFI-580 is goin for $120, while the HFI-780 is going for $152.
Oh so the 780's are more balanced? Is the bass difference between the 2 noticeable?

Yes, the HFI-780 is more balanced, enabling it to handle a wider range of genres better. The bass is still quite present, just not as emphasized as on the HFI-580.
780's it is. Thanks!

Where are/were you quoting these prices from? I just looked on Amazon and they are quite a bit higher.
