i know thts cheap but im saving for a new laptop so i cant spend much. my in ears are sick but my overs hurt my ears. any suggestions?
 
i listen to classic rock and metal, and dubstep. so they need good bass, but also clear mids and highs.
 
I'm fine to go a little over but not a ton.
 
Thanks,
wburton

I see these being recommended a lot recently, but aren't they on ears?

The CALs (Creative Aurvana Live) cups barely fit around the ears, at least for me.
But I do not like the CALs because it feels like the diaphragm in the cups is only a few millimeters from my ear, so my ears feel "bothered" after 10 minutes.

My HA-S500-Z are my preferred portables.

What about for over ear? Also, are there over ear on the same level as the S500's?

Currently my favorite under $100 headphone is the Gemini HSR-1000 (Takstar Pro 80) closed headphones, $85.

I might go with the CALs because they keep coming up in every thread. still open for suggestions, tho.
