Thank you forum and especially BiggBenn74 for helping me out and choosing my first headphones. I've never gotten anything over $25 so It was new and needed help and the community helped! I got the Numark Red Waves for ~$80. They are really good but a bit bassy but which young listener doesn't...

Buying headphones is really hard because of all the different opinions and views on things ;L... I'm not an audiophile so I don't think i'll need an amp exactly and somebody complained about the comfort, that worries me...

Budget: $150 Max Genre: Metal/Heavy Metal Sound: I like Accurate Balanced But I really enjoy all the instruments Amp: No Amp   A lot of my songs are old songs that are Raw so sometimes accurate headphones may make it sound bad I've heard   I really need the comfort and portability...

Depends, The Koss Pro DJ100 is a really good set of cans for accurate and vocal based things.   If you listen to more Hip-Hop/Dubstep/Rock, then you'd be better off with Numark Red Waves (They have more bass then most headphones but no nearly enough as the beats).

Alright guys, so I was originally looking for new headphones and the Numark Red Waves caught my attention but then i realized that they weren't really good build quality and had a lot of bass.   I listen to metal more on the heavy side and a lot of my tracks are MP3's that aren't the best...

Quote: No thanks, I'm OCD, Can't stand using something somebody else had nomatter how clean it is ^^   I might just go with some M50's...

Quote: Yeah people use the 840 pads on it but its not worth paying $100 for the phones then another $20, thats $120, while the red waves are $70 and m50's are $150

Quote: Awesome, thanks for the input!   Now I just gotta decide... M50's are $150 while Red Waves are $70... Half Price :/ Some reviews on the Red Waves say they aren't comfortable... I guess I'm going to have to go into deep thinking. Haha.   M50's worth double the price? Opinions?

Quote: Ahh I live overseas so I have to ship in same package and amazon doen't have the ear pads in stock atm, says 2-3 weeks... Beyers i would love but its $100 more...   Nobody has tried the Numark red waves?

The LP2 is refined, one of my friends has the V-Moda LP and wearing them really hurts my head, couldn't have them on for more then 5 minutes so make sure they are comfortable for you. Just my personal experience.  

Quote: Yeah, I have no motivation to mod headphones as i have no idea around them and I'm scared i'll break it. Which i most likely would.

Alright so I'm going to be buying new ~$100 headphones and I really love the Beyerdynamic DT770, But It's double the price. And I don't have an AMP nor do i want one for now. I'm new to audio.   Most Important to me is the Comfort > Sound Quality > Portability   I listen to Metal and the...

Alright, So Basicaly I'm going to be ordering new headphones off of Amazon, No need for an amp or anything, but I need assistance as I'm not very well informed on audio and headphones.   Budget: $50-$100, If its Really good and well worth it, I'll go for $150. Type: Over ear closed...
