i narrow down my choices to sennheiser hd 439 and monster inspiration, monster's are 100 bucks more expensive, i want to know if its worth it to pay 200 for some monsters headphones.
 
is mainly to listen r&b, electronic, dubstep and all that. Plz some good oponions guys btw im new here

I own the HD 439s, and granted they are bounds better for me, i do not believe they would work as well for your sonic preferences.  
 
I suggest Koss pro DJ 100s http://www.amazon.com/Koss-ProDJ100-Headphones/dp/B003X1BEKI
 
or TBSE (detachable cable)http://www.amazon.com/Tony-Bennett-TBSE1-Signature-Headphone/dp/B005K5I9QW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1367608264&sr=1-1&keywords=TBSE 
 
Excellent bass and sound quality for $50-$80ish
 
Oh and welcome to Head-Fi, sorry about your wallet

They have great bass for me, but that might be attributed to amping, they have a lot more bass than 439s.

I wont lie i do like the design of the hd 439, would they sound better with some amp like the fiio 11? also please give me some though on monster inspiration 'pasive' noise isolation they are at 195 bucks at amazon but they dont have enough reviews to convince me thanks for your time btw

Mine do sound better with my E11, however pro DJ 100s+E11 work much better for electronic music.
 
Haven't heard anything on the inspirations, there's probably a thread here somewhere though.
