im looking for very good headphones around $100 NOT $200.my mind was set on senns hd555 but i kept reading about its lack of bass even though the rest is great so what are your opinions.i know that there are similar good headphones by audio tech but i dont know much about detail about them.
 
i mostly hear to songs almost close to heavy rock (song that are used to max out while lifting weights)

Great bass? Audio Technica M50. You can't go wrong with that purchase.

You were planning on lifting weights with headphones on?
 
Considering the size of even 555's, that might be a problem. Any kind of lifting that includes arms going past the head probably won't work.Plus they could fall off your head during mid-lift, which is a really messy situation.
I suggest heading over to the Portable Headphones section and searching for IEM's.

 maxing out is when you lift as much weight as possible in one rep(usually that is the whole workout and usually dont happend) kinda like lifting in a powerlifting competition.what is maxing in starcraft by the way?

maxing out is just lifting the most weight you can in one rep...and i don't think full size phones are very good for weight lifting. i'd go with iem's as well

The lack of bass in the HD 555 can be alleviated by a proper amp.

im mean i will be carefully or just listin secs before that actual lift
 
iem = m50?

IEMs = Kilpsch Image S4(i)

The M50 has a reputation of having punchy, strong, yet clear and pronounced bass. Very accurate as well.

Also, for $120 you could get the Denon AH-D1100.  It supposedly has good bass.  I am getting a pair in a couple of weeks.  They are closed back, and they are fairly portable compared to other fullsized headphones.

are the m50 worth it?they are almost double the price of 555

It's probably has one of the best price:value ratio in the Audiophile market.

I don't know if Id say that.  If your looking for relatively pronounced bass then they will deliver but in the same pricerange the SRH440, MS-1, AD700, and DT440 sound better overall (though not necessarily on terms of bass).  They are probably the best bet for someone mostly worried about bass though.
