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: Ive been doing some research, the bower and wilkins p5 seem to be great for me.. I think I will get them. Any last recommendations? 

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?
