Hey guys I'm back, thanks for all the comments! I'll go to the store after my school excursion is over (the store is pretty close to the place where I'm going). And for ****s and giggles I'll ask the salesman what the best headphones are for me (I want to see if he tries to sell me some way to expensive headphones from dre, 50 cent or jay-z), but I'll ignore all his advice and go with the advice you guys gave me because you are the REAL experts!

XB500 without a doubt. Just keep in mind all the XB series have a small vent at the back of the earcup so they won't be very good at isolating noise and leak a bit of sound.

I don't care about noise leakage because I'll probably wont be wearing them outside my house, and my neighborhood is pretty quite so I noise isolation/cancellation isn't really necessary.

I went to the store today and asked some recommendations, the guy told me that sony headphones are great for hip-hop if you need budget headphones. He first recommended some ****ty small things that were on the ear headphones. When I asked about over the ear headphones he immideatly went to the XB500. I didn't buy them because they were a bit pricey, so I will order them today online.
 
I want to thank everybody (again) for replying and giving me some great advice, I'll keep you updated when my headphones arrive!

At least you didn't get a Beats recommendation.

well sir. i'll break the mold.
brainwavz hm3.
 
if what you love in the music is only bass, then yes. xb500.
but if you don't want to miss out on all the other parts of the music, i recommend brainwavz hm3.

If your getting the Sony XB-500, I recommend that you get a Fiio E6 Amp. I love the Amp, I don't listen to music without it anymore.

What does this amp do? Does it make the music sound more richer and precise?

I have been looking into these headphones and i was wondering if these would be good for listening to reggaeton?

ps: sorry about trying to hijack the thread but i dont want to make a new one about the same headphones.

I don't really mind that you're hijacking my thread but I would recommend beginning your own one because the people who click on this one think someone needs help for hip-hop/rap not for reggae.

Hey guys!
 
Yesterday I received my headphones in the mail and of course I tried them immidiatlly, at first I didn't head much of a difference compared to my studio's. But after listening a bit longer I heard everything much more clearer, more detailed and with even better bass! Probably the best hip/hop headphones someone can get for the price (got them for 36.75 euro with shipping!). I highly recommend these headphones! Also I cant stop playing with the earpads, there so soft! (that's what she said).
 
Thank you all for helping me picking the right headphones.
 
PS: I'm wearing them now
