the ones you said seemed more like recording than ipod listening, 10ft is a bit long for a cord

ah so its like 3d for hearing then correct? and yea, while i dont mind bass rock is my preference so mid and high are more important to me

Bass is not my main concern as like i said im more of a Rock guy, and i listen to a lot of Jrock (my minor is Japanese) and there doesn't seem to be much base in it. what is a soundstage?

Id prefer the closed then, is there a loss of quality in the closed?

mostly an ipod. and I dont really know the difference between them.

ive read that i wanted opinions from actual users

So im a complete noob when it comes do headphones. I really like beats but i dont listen to rap so the base amplifying they do isnt something i care for. I usually listen to rock and i want to find something of a beat quality for more for around at most ~200 maybe a little more. any suggestions...
