I need a new pair of headphones, and I want a nicer pair. What would you guys recommend for $100. I know the ibeats are popular,it I have heard mixed reviews about them. I mostly listen to rap (kid cudi, drake,wu tang) and rock (rise against and green day) but I listen to a ton of other stuff as well. Any suggestions?

Id suggest the Sennheiser IE 6, it sounds great with rock, albeit the vocals sound a tad distant, rap sounds great with it as well, the bass response is orgasmic.

My top choice is always the  Etymotic HF5 for anyone looking in the $100 range. If bass is super important to you though, maybe the Klipsch Image s4 would better suit you. I think they even offer an enhanced bass version.

If you haven't checked out joker's multi-iem review thread, do that.
 
I can personally recommend the Brainwavz M3; when I had it it was an excellent value for an IEM under 100. The M3's have a balanced yet slightly musical signature, handle all genres well (but if you're looking for bass monsters look elsewhere), and a terrific soundstage. They are comparable to my GR07, which I paid three times the price for. The only reason I upgraded was because I broke the M3's after three months. I recommend them to everyone who wants to get serious about their sound quality..

The IE6 is much more than $100. It is $147 on Amazon. I guess that is around the lowest legitimate price.

If you like you bass, Shure SE215.  I think retail is $99, less if on sale (I think I paid $79 for mine)
