Quote: I LOVE BASS but i dont like it to be overpowering like the beats by dre. something like ultrasone hfi-580's which i currently own are good. smooth sound is good and a wide soundstage is amazing as well.

Quote: Ok thanks, what do you recommend for my budget?

Quote: its something that i want in a headphone. when i am listening to music, i dont like the background noise as i feel it takes away from the sound; hence, i "need" the noise canceling to be a feature in my headphone.

Quote: It's not a need really, its just something that I NEED to be included in my headphone of choice lol. 

I have a $500 budget to spend on headphones. I don't have an amp and NEED noise canceling for the my headset, are the mm-550x's my best option at the moment? How is their sound quality? How is the noise canceling? Are they worth the extra money compared to the mm-500x's?   Any help is...

can anyone recommend me a good pair of in ear headphones/monitors. budget is 150$ and will be played through droid charge with no amp, mainly listen to rap music. thanks

Hey, don't post here too much because I am not an audiophile but today I am looking for a nice set of in ear headphones/ IEM's. My budget is about 150-200$ and the music i will be listening to is rap and out of a verizon droid charge. Thanks

im just gonna go with hfi-580s, ive read great reviews and they sound like my type of headphones

maybe some pop or rock here and there like one song a week.. favorite rap artists are nwa, ice cube, dmx, chris webby(ct rapper), eminem, notorious big, tupac, some big l, nas, eazy e, thats about it i guess. 

Thank you, i think I will get the hfi 580

I don't know any dealers that carry the headphones that I want around here. :(

Sorry about the bump but should i buy the hfi-580 for 139.99 or the PRO 550 for 115 dollars?

Sounds great! How much of am improvement do you think the ultras ones will be compared to my Bose quietcomfort15's?

I have found a pair of ultrasone hfi-580's for 139.99 completely new. Is this a good deal considering my source?(mp3 files out of an ipad) and mainly listening to rap?

Anything a bit cheaper? I can't find aa place to buy those headphones with my budget. :(

Sorry abbot the bumping kr, and Uncle Erik which models of the ultrasones and denons can you recommend for someone playing music with through an iPad and the genres of music I have listed? :)

bump

Which one do you think is better for the genres of music that i listen to? (rap, hip hop, a bit of rock i guess.)

Bump.

Hello head-fi, this is my first post here but a lot of recent searches have led me to this forum. I currently have a bit of a dilemma in my headphone life. Basically, around 9 months ago I purchased a pair of Bose QC15. (Do not flame me for this, i do admit they are not worth their $300 price...
