I was looking for a good pair of headphones that you could buy from futureshop.  I have a gift card there so thats why i need to buy them from there.  My budget is 400 or less. Main thing is for them to look decent, and perform well.  I like lots of bass, and my main two headphones were the beats studio's or bose 15's.  i came to this site and that may possibly change my mind.  Anyways, if you guys could list a bunch of good pairs of headphones that cover my ears (they don't have to be from futureshop, but if they are that would be extra good) thanks a lot

If you are OK with IEMs, you should go with the Monster Turbine Pros (any version you like), the Sennheiser IE6, or Super.Fi 4.
 
If you want headphones, you should go with Shure (SRH840 or 750DJ) or Sennheiser (HD448 or HD515).

i forgot to mention I would be traveling a lot, would the Shure SRH840's cancel the noise? They have pretty good reviews, I was just wondering what they would be like compared to the Studio's or Bose 15s

Welcome to headfi 

 
Which kinds of music you like? Hip hop? 
 
Shures are well balanced headphones, but since you need more bass...you need something different.

How about ATH-M50? They have bass and are below your budget...

 

[andtobis]

Why thank you for the warm welcome
yeah, hip hop is what i listen to.  I was thinking about the Shure srh840's cause they got really good reviews. But i just didn't know if the bass would be good.  I know the Beats Studio's have really intense bass.  I'm not much of an audio purist, like most of the people on here since i don't know much about music.  I just want headphones with lots of bass, and to be able to hear the minor details that i normally wouldn't hear
i'll check those out

i also wanted to mention that i would only use this for my ipod touch. not too sure if that changes anything

Both Shure SRH840 and ATH-M50 can be listened through your ipod touch without external amping...

Truth be told, though, you won't be hearing what the Shure's are capable of through a portable player.
 
Still, they don't have bad bass and they will be significantly better sounding than the Beats or Bose. 
 
Also, the Shure 750DJ might be closer to the sound signature that you want.

 

[TheMiddleSky]

vote for Shure 750DJ, but if you want more isolation, Senn HD25-II also a good option

 

[andtobis]

are the 750 dj's or the srh840's portable though?

 

[TheBananaMan]

yes i carry my srh840 around everywhere, it's portable enough for me.

 

[violinvirtuoso]

The ATH-M50's are great, but I can't find them at FutureShop.

 

[andtobis]

hows the bass on the srh840?

 

[joelpearce]

The 840 has full, rich bass, but it's not boomy the way a lot of lower end headphones are.  In other words, it's not going to be a constant rumble fest, but if a track has lots of bass, the 840 will deliver a good bit of bass.
 
non-basshead phones often take some getting used to if you're just getting into headphones.  The bass we expect from a subwoofer simply isn't present.
