I am looking to buy some new headphones. they need to be able to handle the bass of dubstep and rap but still sound good for metal rock alternative and folk
so pretty much they need to sound good for everything except country
i recently tried on my friends beats hds and they sounded great but while doing research i heard that there overpriced and not very good
so could anybody give me suggestions on which headphones i should buy it would be greatly appreciated thanks

Agreeeeed, here we go again.
 
Look into the HFI-580's.

Not Beats.

You can use them w/o an amp, yes.

I would say M50's.

Ultrasone 580 or M50, use the search function to see which is better for you and to see a range of opinions. (I haven't seen a beats thread in quite a while, maybe it's because they were given out as christmas presents?)

i would also recommend the shure srh750DJ as a good competitor to the m50s, hfi 580s, and the beats.

No they spontaneously combusted. .
 
I'll +1 the HFI 580s and M50 though - heard both BRIEFLY and they seemed pretty good.

Be careful, there are tons and tons of beginners on here that have gotten the M50's and will just recommend them to everyone even if they haven't heard any other pair of headphones. In my opinion, the M50's do not have enough bass. I'm guessing you want bass because you are considering the beats so that's why I mention it. The 580's are said to have a little more bass. And to the answer the question of your thread, no. The sound quality is not not worth $300. The cheap plastic is definitely not worth $300. Lets say you could get the studios for around $100 though, I might have to do that. Yes, they are overpriced, but they have some nice bass.

Yes. Please forget the beats. They're not worth it, to say the least.
 
I haven't heard these for myself, but I've caught myself kind of interested in those B&W's. And if you were impressed with those Beats, there's a WHOLE WORLD of more impressive headphones out there for you, which is a good thing!
 
Jude just wrote a review on them, and if I remember right they're in that $300 price range.
