Hi, I'm buying new headphones but I'm stuck on which ones to get. I listen to Drum and Bass, Dubstep and Hip-Hop, so I'd like some with some good bass. My budget is £100 ($150) and I live in the UK. Also I'll be using them with my PC and Google Nexus 7 if you need to know.

Could you guys recommend me some headphones that match my requirements?

Recommending anything in your pricerange would be zealous of me as I haven't really tried any of the offerings near your price range.
I would however for bass heavy music reccomend the  Denon D2000's , I've owned Denon D5000's before and I've heard they're pretty damn close to them. My D5000's is the best I've heard for d&b, hip-hop, electro/dupstep and the likes. They've got that deep rumblimg bass with craploads of impact that's really beneficial to the genres you listen to.
 
The D2000's goes for arround 400 $ on ebay and amazon which is a terrible price compared to what you could get them for even last year. As they've been discontinued this is sadly just how it is.

Save up a bit more and look at the ATH M50 by Audio Technica (132 pound on Amazon current for example). For the price it has a fair bass impact, pretty good all rounder, needs no amp if you can't get one, isolates well and is fairly portable. Surely there is a store there that you could audition them at as well.
 
You can read a billion reviews on them considering their popularity and success.

Thanks so far, I'll check the ones you've recommended. Would you guys recommend any Sennheisers for bass, in my price range?

Hello!

If you would like something from Sennheiser, the HD439 is great! Not very bass but we are talking about the quality although quantity do satisfy basshead. Another this is that it's warm! If not the UE6000. Prefer it over the ATH-M50 but that's probably just to me!

Close to neutral headphone, if you're a basshead you will be disappointed. 
 
I recommend the Q40's instead:

Ok, so it's between the ATH-M50s or the HD439s. Should I spend double the money on the ATH-M50s or is it not worth it? Or should I maybe go for another Sennheiser that's not the HD439?

You should consider Creative Aurvana Live! as well: well within your budget, fantastic sound for the price, no need to amp & very comfortable (unless you have massive ears ). They sound like a 'little brother' to the Denon D2000 mentioned above, and I find them very good for electronic music (I'm not a basshead though, so make of that what you will ...)

I, personally prefer HD439 over ATH-M50. If you want other Sennheiser, maybe you should give HD518 a shot or the HD598
