Hey guys im trying to get some advice on which one to get. I currently have a pair of audio technica m30s and find them to flat and bland for my taste so im looking to upgrade. I listen to rap for the most part everything from classic nate dogg and bone thugs to stuff like this

thanks for your help and insight
 
P.S. I listen to my music through my computer and ipod for the most part, incase that plays a role.

They have wayy better bass than the headphones you were looking at. These are pretty much the same as HFI 580 with some punchier bass. The ath m50 will disappoint you for rap and hip hop

Ill definitely look into those, im not exactly a "basshead" but the bass on my m30s is definitely lacking a bit. A lot of the rap I listen to has an electronic element mixed in with traditional rap bass. Its really hard to choose, just so much out there!

I have never been as impressed with the M50 as others. Having said that the 380 is a very tight and impressive sounding headphone with great clarity and the bass is very tight and impactful. If you have a chance you should listen to both to decide for yourself but if not I recommend the 380.
 
If your in Canada, you can get the 380 from Axe Music for $140 which is a very good price for that headphone.

Yeah the 380 looks pretty good. I still recommend the DJ1's. I think it will be a perfect headphones for the music you listen to.

Is it weird that I think the 380 isn't as impressive as some of senns lower end stuff? The build and sound quality IMHO is lower than the 280 and even a lot of the 4xx series personally.

Audio Technica ATH-A900X (closed) headphones.
Digbuy is selling them for $154.99, plus tax & shipping.
As they are around 40-Ohm, will work plugged into anything.
I paid $256 for mine

 

[jad5122]

Just noticed the DJ1's lowered another $10. You better grab them before someone else does.

Any thoughts on the durability of the ATH-A900X versus the M50?

 

[jad5122]

Just looking at the ath 900x you can tell they won't be as durable as many other headphones on the market. The band looks like it could snap any minute.

 

[cammerarian]

Thanks. I've not seen the A900X up close, so I assume that the band / loops are plastic rather than metal. Good to know.

I think the A900X is durable enough, just do not abuse or step on them.
