Does anyone know what the best headphone for rock under 400 bux would be? I dont really care if it's open or closed just awesome for rock.

 
You can look into the HE-400. Might need an amp though. (Sorry I'm not too familiar with this price range!)

That's actually the exact can I was looking at haha.I totally agree though it's sort of a hard price range.

Looking for headphones that satisfy the following needs (in order)
 
Comfort
Sound Quality
Folding
Detachable cord
Durable
Nice looking
 
I definitely prefer a sound signature with bass emphasis.
I have done some research and found these models but I am just looking for more suggestions
SRH 750DJ
ATH M50
Pro 700 mk2
HFI 580
Vmoda M80
Maudio Q40
Beyer Dt770
ultrasone pro 550
HFI 580
 
and the top of my budget is about $175.
I would be open to buying new pads, but am not sure I am into doing a ton of modding (prefferably, none at all)

Out of curiosity what amp did you try the HD650 with?
If you are looking for detail (sorry soundstage is going to be pretty up close with on ear HPs) the DT1350 are very much worth looking into for your portable HP.

 
I auditioned them on my red Go-DAP X, as well as the store's custom diy amp and another amp I forget the name of - something not so popular these days, I think.  The HD650 mids had more substance but treble and clarity was just not there enough for me.  I brought my DT880s along and I always preferred them for their neutrality - less engaging mids than the HD650, yes, but no nagging sense of coloration and overdone-ness in the sound.  The HD800 that I also listened to suited my tastes more but didn't quite seal the deal for me - I will need more time with those on better amps and a quieter environment.  
 
I'm prepared to take the plunge but I'm still not convinced that it's going to be easy to justify going for >$500 headphones.  If the perceived improvement is only going to be incremental, I think I could be happy with my current setup for a while.  
 
I'll give the DT1350 a listen, thanks.

I would say the Grado Sr325i or Beyerdynamic DT990 Premium, granted you would be willing to purchase an amp with those ones.

I think the ATH-PRO700MKII would fit you perfectly.
FYI - Detachable cables often cause more problems than they solve.

Such as?
 
Could I put velour pads on them to make more comfortable?
Wondering the same with the Q40...
I am so indecisive...
 
Since I valued comfort the most I feel like the Pro700's wouldnt be the best..
 
 
Forgot to mention, isolation is placed after sound quality.
 

Listen to all types of music, mostly rap. (no electronica or dubstep for me)

 

[whatthenicole]

Save money for a better headphone/amp/whatever. The cable should be your last upgrade.

 

[ladridge]

Yea i know but my cable just got cut open and i really dont like it so i need a new one

 

[lukEM22]

Mostly looking for closed cans, forgot to mention that.
I'd be fine with on or over ears.

This question doesn't belong in the recommendations thread. The guidelines are clearly listed in the for sale forum. See here:

Hi Head-fi!
 
I'd like some help from the experts please
Budget: $300
Music: Dubstep, bass heavy. Drum and bass sometimes.
Use: Outdoors commuting, hooked up to my iphone 5 (guess I need low impedance). I do not want a portable AMP.
Design: Prefer industrial design sort of like the Custom One Pro's
 
Essentially I love the look of the Custom One Pro's and reviews seem decent enough. Are there any alternatives for quality bass so powerful it may induce the defecation of one's liver?
