Help I need to decide on a headphone under 300$.
I mainly listen to bass heavy music like rap and hip-hop so I want a very deep and booming bass. Ive been looking at the monster Turbine Golds and the Westone 2 and the 3 if I can get a deal where it is 300 or less.
I ride the bus a lot so I need isolation as well.
Any Suggestions???

Monster Turbines give decent isolation (you can do better, Klipsch x10 for example) and have extremely powerful bass.

ok Do they have more bass then the MTPG and are they durable i own the klipsch s4i

I have Klipsch Image X10's they have excellent bass for such a small earphone.
 
I am running them through a Fiio E7 - LOD - 5.5g iPod, with custom sleeves on them and am amazed at how responsive they are.
 
You should be able to find them cheap online, mine set me back €150 2 yrs ago.
 
The only downside mids can be a bit muddy and the cables can be noisy

UE Triple.fi 10pros. Great deep booming bass, nice and warm. Excellent noise isolation, and really good build quality. Also quite upfront and aggressive which is good for hiphop etc.

Westone 3 , monster golds , sm3 ,Tf10 all have big bass and sound great

I think I will go with the monster turbine pros or klipsch x10 but I don't know which is better
Which has more bass

jacobap - i find the bass response on the x10 fantastic but to really get the most out of it they need to be amped

I agree.   Amping does make a difference with these.   If you're going to get a pair, I would suggest acting relatively quickly.   There is a rumour that they are going out of production.

kiwirugby,
 
I am aware that Klipsch were bought out, but had not been made aware they were stopping production.
 
Would be a shame if the dropped the x10 unless they are bringing out a better replacement.

Future Sonics Atrio M5. Tight, yet punchy and powerful bass without bloating and overpowering the mids
 
Oh, and the sound great without amping, straight out of players like the J3 or iPod 5.5. I use mine for female vocals, as well as hardhitting bass stuff like Deadmau5. Only thing is, they need burn-in, about 50 hours or so before sounding their best. In fact, anyone NOT believing in burn-in for headphones should get a pair of Atrios.
