 I am fairly new to the world of headphones, with my only headphones being a 5$ pair of earbuds, and as such, I want to delve into the realm of the audiophiliac. I want to get my first pair of medium-low end headphones. I'm looking for a closed, over ear pair, with fairly good build quality, comfortable enough to wear for about 10 hours a day, and sound quality suited to dubstep (deep, punchy bass). My budget is 125$. I don't want to buy an amplifier. I've been considering getting the Sony MDR XB500s used or the JVC ha-MR77X.

Try V-moda line. Crossfade LP2 since you are asking for over ear. You'd have to strech your budget slightly though. They offer plenty of bass with great build quality. I'm using the LPs myself; easy to drive and fairly decent SQ for a first headphone. LP2s are supposed to be better.

LP is very uncomfortable but I dont know about the LP2. If bass is the only thing you are looking for and you want a fun sound rather than neutral these might be a good choice... IF LP2 has better comfort than the LP's.

I used to own the LPs and the had good bass but was a bit muddy. I have never listened to the LP2s but I think the bass is a little less so that the sound is more balanced.

are you looking for headphones that just mainly focus on big boomy bass or do you want ones with good bass but good mods and highs (clarity) as well?

Those vmodas seem pretty good for a basshead can.

I would probably avoid that model.

I want punchy bass and subbass that stays where it's supposed to. So good mids and highs too.

LP2 are overkill in the bass. Real basshead headphones can be very fatiguing. I'd start with something like a Creative Aurvana Live! 2 and if that's not enough bass then you'd wanna get the xb500's

How good are the Creative Aurvana Live 2s for electronic music and dubstep?
