Hi, im new to head-fi and i was thinking which headphones would be best for my home studio for beatboxing which means the lows and highs are important, price i would want to spend is about 100-200€, headphones will be mostly for my recording and monitoring of beatbox and that means i want no distortion. preferrably over 200 ohms because i will be plugging them into my mixer/monitors.

Check out a used pair of Sennheiser HD 250 Linear II, the impedance is 300 ohm and they have an extended, detailed, 'full-range studio-type' of sound with nice soundstage (which I really like). So far I haven't found a current production headphone in this price range with a similar type of sound. Otherwise there is a 600 ohm version of the HD 25 II but it might not be quite as good.

thanks for the reply! i am interested in those headphones you mentioned but struggling to find a pair ;( i was thinking about beyerdynamics dt-770 pro 250 ohms would they work in my needs or maybe akg or audio technica's?

Yes it is not easy to find, depending on your location there might be a few pairs left buried somewhere in a local studio shop).
But imho it is your best option and it suits the impedance requirement as well.
 
If you prefer a more V-shaped sound than the DT770 should work well.

im not sure what u mean by v sound does it mean that they miss mids? mids are not the most important but they do highlight important noises like snares and such... in my mixer i have eq mids from 150 Hz to 3.5k Hz

Yes, the HD250II is also a bit V-shaped so it has a slight emphasis on detail, although to a much lesser degree.
