I like listening to trance music and rap I'm thinking of getting the tiesto AKG167. Anyone out there have these headphones or have any recommendations. $150 is the max price I will go.

Yes, I pretty much sold on the Q40, They have good soundstage and some bass which is perfect for what i'm using them for, which is music and very little gaming which I haven't even done in months.  Once I get some money ill probably buy some really nice cans with an amp, ill be in the amp forums...

Nice review, Gave me a lot of insight on what i'm getting into.   Yeah any headphones you  recommend that would be an upgrade? 150-200 price range.   Edit: HDJ-2000 you considered the best in the review.

  M-Audio Studiophile Q40  VS Audio technicas M-50. I have the M-50 already but anyone using the M-Audio let me know what you think of them, and if you had both pairs please let me know which ones you like best.  I am thinking of buying the Q40 but you have another pair of headphones in mind...

  Thanks great news don't have to get an amp right away. I will get an amp later on just to see how much more I can bring out of them.   

with the  M-Audio Q40 do i need an amp if i where to plug them into my tv or laptop?  Same with the shure 750 would they also need an amp.  My technicas didn't need an amp  so im hoping these don't either.  

I have $100-150 no higher  budget, bought the ath m50 left side is going dead I have a warranty sending them to get fix. I want to buy the akg k240 but is the quality as good or better then the ath m50? If you have a recommended any pair of cans let me know. I do game a little and the ATH did...

Denon DN-HP700 how are they compared to ath m50 and akg k240?

Ok i'm running them on a laptop and yes an xbox as well. The only problem is i dont like how big they are, you have other headphones that are good no more then 100 dallors that are as good as my m-50 and the akg k240?

Yeah sorry forgot to mention studio.  Grado aren't really what I had in mind, I like bass but not a bass head and Grado don't have enough bass plus I do game a little so Grado aren't good at all with that.

I like to buy AKG K240, I currently have Audio Technica m50 problem is left side is cutting in and out loose  wire I suppose. I have a warranty. I am going to get these fix and give them to my brother, anyways the real question is for the AKG K240 do I need an amp. I get mix messages on forums...

I love them got them from ebay. The music is so rich and clear its amazing, I also do game with them and I have to say they're not bad, soundstage is pretty good. Like I said on my other post that I do not game a lot and when I do its not for a long period of time.  I can hear people coming from...

Im no expert but, I heard that the Grado Labs make pretty good headphones, do a little research on them they have good reviews.  Maybe some one else thats more an expert can give you a few choices on which ones to purchase.       Edit -After re-reading your post im sorry I didn't notice...

http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/category.cgi?item=ATH-M50 is this website legit? I want to buy a pair of these headphones due to it has good bass and is equally well as gaming headphones. I'm no bass head but I do like some bass when listening to music and I know that the ad700...

I just figured out you need an amp for them.  Audio- Technica ATH-M50 look promising, sorry for all these list of headphones. Just trying to find one that fits my needs, I looked and these have good bass and good sound stage.
