Yea i've been lookin at the ath-m50 and i think i will go with those because there are plenty of good reviews and they are closer to my price range. Thank you all that helped me!!!!

And how do the Ultrasone HFI-580 compare to say the sennheiser 558's

I will be mainly using my samsung galaxy s2 and i would prefer the headphones to be close in the back so i have more noise cancellation, but i will take open back. And i will be using them mainly in house

No i want over ear headphones

Hey guys as i said in the title it will be my first time buying good quality headphones and venturing away from skullcandy earbuds. Anyway my budget is under $160 but that is a little bit flexible. I will be listening to hip hop/rap and dubstep so i would like a good bass.
