I'm interested in getting a new pair of headphones. Currently, I have Sennheiser HD 202's. I'm looking to upgrade, because just recently I've been listening to a lot of music. I'm looking for headphones in the $100-150 range. I'm using my desktop right now, so I'd rather get headphones that don't require an amp, but still sound great. I listen to mostly hip hop, so consider that. The headphones need a decent amount of bass, but not too much.
 
I hope this helps you in suggesting me some headphones .

I would look into the Audio Technica ATH-M50.

I've been thinking about getting those headphones. I haven't read anything negative in the reviews. Is it worth it to get an amp though? The reviews say it drives quite well without one.

The Shure 840 are better IMO than the M50 by a wide margin. More balance and transparency and neutral and can be had for 149.00 from JR Music

How's the bass on those?

Beyerdynamic DT440, the best allrounder cans I've ever heard. More allrounder than SRH840 for me.
 
I never heard the M50 though, but from what I know, some people which ever hear both DT440 and M50, say that DT440 is better.

Wait, why did you bump your thread after only 4 minutes? This isn't 4ailchan, threads don't drift off the front page after 5 seconds. Wait patiently for a reply, if people see you posting "bump" to up your post count and get your thread more attention then they'll be less likely to want to help you.
 
Anyway, I'd recommend the Sony V6, they're quite way under how much you want to spend but they're pretty much the best headphones in their price range. They're very accurate and I can vouch for them having good bass from personal experience (I own them). I'd advise that you look at cheaper headphones before making a jump from the Sennheiser HD202's to something that costs multiple times the price in case you end up feeling disappointed with the sound or headphones don't turn out to be 'your thing' and you regret spending so much money on them.

+1 for Sony V6, you can also get Beyerdynamic pads which make them comfy.

I think the Sony V6's are the way to go. It won't cost me too much money, so I have money left over for another pair of headphones later on.

It says the same date on both posts (8/16/10) and that there's only 4 minutes between each post but oh well, maybe it's an error or something.
