Hey I'm lookin for some good hip hop headphones thats around the price range of the K81s, maybe something like $100 since the K81s are sooo good and only $70. They are good mang, but I don't want the same headphones everyone else's got haha

Why don't you want the same headphones that everyone else has? Everyone else has the K81DJs for a reason -- they're a good set of cans for their pricepoint. I don't think you should exclude such a good headphone just because everyone else has one..

the chances of you seeing a pair of k81 djs out on the street are very low

Philips HP460

$32 @ amazon.

haha yeah it's not much of a reason, I'm just looking for alternatives i guess.

Sony MDR-V6 - good sound quality at $70. It's also more comfortable than the k81dj.

unless there are a lot of head-fiers where you live you probably won't see another one around. they're pretty fantastic at that price and with a recable, turn into a completely different beast altogether.

for hip-hop you might also consider the grado sr-60...but they're open and not the most portable headphones.

k, 'having what everyone else has' wasn't a reason at all, I'm just really looking for alternatives lol

Audio-Technica makes a bunch of portable closed cans, check 'em out over at audiocubes.com.

Used K271S:s are at that price point. For me those are pretty much unbeatable at that price. And as a side note for those who say that these are sweaty, buy cloth pads for those or reverse the original pads, the otherside is softer pleather and has actualy realy nice feel to those.
