So my home kit works well, HARX 900 and AudioTechnica500 for my music, and for travel use I had a pair of Vmoda vibes which worked just alright for the most part with my iPod touch, and I need new compact earphones...I'm not really an audiophile, but I do recognize and appreciate good sound..
 
I recently got an android beats phone and since i can play .flac on that, i just wanted to buy some headphones that compliment that sound, since my vmoda's just don't do it justice (and they just haven't been that good for sound in general lately, i don't know why)...
 
I'm looking for some budget priced ~$60 or less headphones, I do want headphones with Bass, but not THAT much either, a moderate-high, punchy, but not overwhelming, and I want the mids and highs to be fairly balanced as well...
 
So far I was thinking of the Denon AH-C260 and the Sennheiser CX400, but I'm sure you all with this expertise will provide some much better suggestions...
 
My other option is go grab some replica Beats Solo headphones, I can get them easily where I am living right now for the price I was looking for, and I heard the sound quality is pretty similar to that of the real overpriced beats.
 
Thanks!

what do you like ??You want bass? You want balance sound? Focused on instruments and vocals??? we gotta know atleast that much.

What do you like?
I have a wide variety of music, everything from Depeche Mode to Jack Johnson, David Bowie to Tupac, Kraftwerk to Adele, so I really don't have a solid answer to that...
 
You want bass, balance sound?
Like I said before, I do want A LITTLE BIT emphasis on bass, but to the point where it's overwhelming, I still want a balance on mids and highs, but just a bit more emphasis on bass (atleast to my ear, it adds atmosphere to sound, but too much is bad)...
 
Focused on instruments on vocals??
That's really hard to answer, I want a balance between the too, maybe a bit more emphasis on instruments, but that's not THAT major of a factor that I need...
