hmm now its between the panasonic HTF600 and the incipio f38...

Incipio is pretty much the Brainwavz HM3. I will ask you which do you like More. Treble or Bass?  HM3(or the incipio) Has better treble and clarity. Panasonic has more bass and a bigger soundstage.

thanks! sounds like i will be better off with closed cans. what is the best way to tell when buying if they are open or closed?

 
The exterior of the ear cups are completely sealed on closed cans.

I can vouch for the Incipios. I personally prefer them over the Panasonics due to their greater clarity. 

 

[Dyjon54]

If he wants closed then the incipio f38 is a good buy.

i like bass a lot, but it's more about the overall sound for me. and closed cans sound like what i would need for work...i like loud, obnoxious music.

If you can get the Sony V6 for under $80 then go for it. If not, you might want to consider the Koss proDJ100 or Koss Tony Bennett headphone. These two Koss headphones are very similar, however the Tony Bennett has a removable cord and comes with a case.

I suggest these:

They are semi-open and have fantastic reviews.  It's basically the poor man's DT990 I would say.  They will be closed enough that people can't hear you that much and you can't hear them as well as having good bass.  They are also open enough to make a great soundstage.  Easy to drive as well.

My girlfriend has a pair of these and loves them. Plenty of bass, nice seal and you can get them for around $85.

MonoPrice DJ Headphones 8323 has great bass and is closed. Its also one of my favorite HF

Cheap as chips too!

I had the ES-7 from Audio Technica, they look exactly like those red ones.  They hurt my left ear like nothing else.  I would stay away from any Audio Technica smaller than the M50, with the exception of their amazing earbuds.

I'd advise against the HTF600 unless you like your ears being melted... over and over again. And they've also got lots of head-hurting bass (and I consider myself to be a moderate basshead!).

 I have the Incipio f38 and I think it will fit your needs pretty well. It has a shorter cable  about 4ft long or so, It's perfect for listening at a desk or use as a portable player. My computer, Sansa Fuze, Sansa Clip and Ipad all drive it to decent volumes. Its a closed headphone but there is some leakage at high volumes but not too much. It isn't bass heavy but you will know it is there. I just think its a fun all around headset and it seems almost built for a smaller head and ears. The have all sorts of funky colors and can be bought for under $30. I think they are a good introduction to Headphones.

I think these are one of the best starter headphones around right now.
