If you have any headphones on in class, the teacher will tell you to take them off, even if you have nothing playing. That shouldn't influence what headphones you buy.

Actually in finland(where i live) u can listen to music in class, i did a small rsearch and i found out that the V-Moda are really interesting. You may have noticed that i love bass but i dont want only bass. So which ones are better M-80 or LP/LP2, and if its possible compare them to Beats Pros and Skullcandys

preset eq is not nearly as good as a 10 band manual eq, i have been tuning my headphones and practicing for the last 4 years so i know how much potential in your headphones a properly tuned eq can unleash, made my hd202 sound as good as a DR150

  If you only want one set of headphones, your best bet is to go for a fairly neutral set, like the Jaycar Pro Monitors/Brainwavs HM5/Fischer Audio-FA003, the Sennheiser Amperior, the Philips CitiScape Uptown, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s (new ones have a solid amount of bass. Not too much, not too little), or even some Superlux Models. Then, just use EQ/bass boost features to give yourself the sound signature you want. I can turn my Jaycar Pro Monitors, which are fairly plain and analytical, into a better version of the Beats Solo with a bass boost adjustment. I can give it as much boomy, overbloated, one-note, Beats-style bass as I want.
 

He wants bass! Did you not hear? he dosnt want a neutral set, and lots of those you mentioned would be terrible for what he wants, especialy the CitiScape uptown

the solos flat out suck, they are terrible sound, and durable?? where did you hear that? they are sooooooooo weak
 
the studios are more respectful with decently detailed sound and boomy bass, and are WAY more duable than solos but leak like crazy
 
Mixr have less bass then studio and are soooo uncomfortable, i cant wear them more than a minute
 
Pros sound pretty good, are durable, but a little bulky for school id think, and not to comfy
 
Ive never seen or heard the skullcandy, but people say they sound good
 
And from reviews people have said the soul sl300 sound worse than the sl200 (or whatever the second model is)

well they all 1 thing in common, they all cost at least 100% more than what they should

yep a better price for all them would be cutting the price in half, then it would be a little more realistic pricing.

well yeah even though that is done, the pricing would be still bad (for the half price $150 studio would go straight against the far superior M50 or something like the $170 HD558, but oh well its not nearly as rediculous at least)

but on a side note, its rediculous pricing fuels it's own popularity and sales as people get the 'premium status' due to the high price so its rather beneficial to Beats that the pricing is so high o.o" customer feed,monster eats = evil monster company endorsed by mad scientist dr.dre

Oh my, this thread.
 
Like others have said, the Sony XB series should suit your needs. Personally I think they look pretty decent, but your tastes may differ from mine.

 

[viralcow]

Wait, the V-Moda M80 doesn't have bass? Has the OP ever heard them?
 
And if you're getting the Pro's to wear while walking around to show off, please realize that most of the time they'll be just hanging on your neck. They are uncomfortable (way too much clamping) and heavy, they aren't designed to be portable.

not to mention beats are thief magnets due to their eye blinding shinyness...

Tobu, what do you listen out of? I say this because I use EQ/Bass Boost when I listen to electronic music. Pretty much everything has one, and if you really want loud, ridiculous, over-the-top bass, it's probably your best bet. 

If you only want one set of headphones, your best bet is to go for a fairly neutral set, like the Jaycar Pro Monitors/Brainwavs HM5/Fischer Audio-FA003, the Sennheiser Amperior, the Philips CitiScape Uptown, the Audio-Technica ATH-M50s (new ones have a solid amount of bass. Not too much, not too little), or even some Superlux Models. Then, just use EQ/bass boost features to give yourself the sound signature you want. I can turn my Jaycar Pro Monitors, which are fairly plain and analytical, into a better version of the Beats Solo with a bass boost adjustment. I can give it as much boomy, overbloated, one-note, Beats-style bass as I want.

And sometimes, I want that. I own a set of XB500s, they're kind of my go-to set for bass-heavy music (I think the term you were looking for was House music when describing Avicii, BTW), and they have the sound sig you're looking for at a very nice price, especially from a company called eCost. I got mine manufacturer refurbished for $28 American buckaroos, not a bad deal at all for that price. I think they sound better than the Beats Solos by a mile.

BTW, the VModas actually have a good amount of bass. So do the Sennheisers. So does pretty much everything mentioned. It's just not bloaty, boomy, one-note bass, which is what you're looking for. If you open your mind to software EQ, things get a lot easier, and you can get a really versatile pair of headphones that can do whatever you want. The XB500s, which are pretty much exactly what you've been describing you want, sound really awful on acoustic/non-electronic tracks because of their bass.

using eq messes up your sound though especialy with bass boose, it just turns down treble, and what if hes using something without a eq? or wants to show them to a friend on there device and they sound like crap with out adjusting the eq and all that on his? His friend wont be very impressed. 
 
In total, he wants an out of the box bass heavy headphone

This. The reason why people don't buy Beats. They only have bass.
