Ey i'm trying to find a great set of headphones for around 0$-175$ maybe 200$... i love bass but i dont want anything to greatly over powered ive been looking into sennheiser HD 598 and HD 558, also audio technica aht-m50's, Bose MDR-XB700 and 500, and thats it if u guys could help it will be greatly appreciated!!! I want headphones that cover my whole ear and stay comfortable for long uses, i like to listen to techno and indie music!! thanks!

good luck finding headphones for 0$
 
On a more serious note, the SONY MDR-XB500's are great for techno. The m50's are more of an all-rounder, and the sennheisers need an amp and are open, so not good for outdoor use.

Would you be willing to buy a portable amp (like a FiiO E6 or JDS Labs CMoyBB with an iPod), or do you want to run it without an amp?

i just use my ipod and my android phone to listen to music

The M50 runs well without an amp but is better with amping, and the Sony XB500/XB700 also run relatively well unamped. The Sennheisers probably wouldn't be a good choice unamped.
