Quote: your were right i am a bass head lol the beats have the bass part right. i just got my audio technica and i have to say that they are way better than the beats studios, i just have to turn it up a little higher to get the bass part right. acoustics and vocals from songs give...

ohhhh i rather have the straight cord then. i was wondering if there is a headphone as good as the  Audio Technica ATH-M50 but with a removable cord?  

straight cable meaning?

whats the difference between the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and the Audio-Technica ATH-M50S

are there any headphones a combination of the 2 for under $250?

so the open ones (HD558) would sound better?

well actually before i do anything. i was wondering if you can compare the sennheiser HD 558 and the Audio-Technica ATH-M50? because the reviews on both are good.

alright. thanks for all you help. =] ill be ordering the headphones in about 3days and hopefully i get them asap so i can try them out.

also can you recommend a portable amp for under $30?

i have one more thing to ask. im going to be using it on my itouch or latop. my itouch uses cheap downloaded mp3 files from the web. and my laptop is just an average laptop. will any of those factors affect the sound in any way?

im  going to take your recommendation on the Sennheiser HD 558. i hope i wont be disappointed =]

i rather not deal with all that buying then returning stuff its a real hassle...so i want to buy the right headphones and that'll be it

is there a store that i can test some of these headphones out? the apple store you can try out the beats and ive seen some of the v moda headphones as well.

how much is it? im trying not to spend more than $200 cus thats how much i can get Beats Studios for, but im interested in the sennheiserhd558. they look nice =].

the only problem i might have with the audio tech is i dont think my eara would be wrap in the cuffs and the headband looks uncomfortable.
