Hey all,
I've been constantly looking through your forums and finally decided to break the ice by getting a pair of headphones.
Heres my story so far: I really really really wanted a pair of Dre Beats. I know how these headphones are regarded in your forum community, so please not hater comments Honest to truth, they looked great, sounded great and are endorsed by one of my favourite music artist: Dr.Dre. I'm a hip-hop, rap, punk, rock and some pop kinda guy, and according to all these Youtube and CNET reviews, they'd literally breathe life into my ears. Great.
But then I heard that the fake ones literally sound the same as the real ones with a lower price tag; it just accounts for if you could get the good quality sounding ones and not just replicas to pass by. These are literally everywhere: eBay, Amazon, Kijiji or Craigslist. I was about to get the Studios when I came across your site, Head-Fi.
I'm not the greatest expert on headphones, but I do know basic information on them. I moved from Dre Beats, to fake ones, to the Sennheiser 595's, to the Senheiser HD 600, then to possibly modding a Superlux 668B then to the ATH-M50(s) and then I was stuck between the ATH-M50 and the AKG K701 or 2. I decided on the ATH-M50 becasue I wasn't going to plan to buy an amp anyways.
Now that I look back at the Beats Studio and ATH-M50s, I'm really just stuck on the decisions because of eyecandy and how bassy or adaptable the headphones will sound. The Dre Beats were designed for hip hop and rap and whatever Dr.Dre endorses, but I'm not so sure about the ATH-M50. Probably the only reason why I considered the K701 were becasue they had a lovely white design (I love white headphones). I haven't been able to get much info about how people who listen to rap or hip hop feel about these headphones on this community.
===========================================
Summing it up:
Will anyone care to share any personal preferences about what headphones I should get?
Genre: Rock, Punk, Hip Hop, Rap
Artists: Rise Against, Tupac, Eminem, Wiz Kalifa, Lil' Wayne, The Game, Lights, (some) Justin Bieber, One Republic, Dr.Dre, Roscoe Dash, Kid Cudi etc.
Wants in headphones: Eyecandy, Sound quality, $100 - $175 price range
Yes I am 15 years old if you were wondering (due to my tastes xP).
