Hi all! I'm new to headphones, as well as the forum.
 
I recently decided to invest in a pair of headphones. I really don't need professional grade headphones for $400. I just want a pair of good looking headphones with decent sound quality. I normally listen to music from mainstream artists like Jason Derulo, Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, etc. I really like Bass too
 
I am looking at the Skullcandy Skullcrushers on sale for $33 on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Skullcandy-SCS-SCBP3-5-Skullcrushers-Subwoofer-Headphones/dp/B000OYFOVM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304821280&sr=8-2).
 
I am also looking at the Sullcandy Agent Carbons (http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/agent-carbon.html).
 
Other than Skullcandy, I'm relatively unfamiliar with other brands. Sennheiser seems expensive
 
Oh, my price range is around up to $60.00. Fairly flexible budget though.
 
 
 
Conclusion (I know I'm not good at organizing thoughts into a thread, sorry):
 
My biggest focus is bang for my buck and look. Sound quality should be fairly good, though i don't need amazing.
 
*EDIT*
Oh, I forgot. Comfort is a biggie too
 
 
Thanks!

If your interest is looks first, sq second, you probably ought to head over to some kind of fashion forum. 
 
You won't get the answers you want here, as (1) our aesthetic tastes tend to differ from the overly-bulky, brightly-colored plastic that is so popular with kids these days, and (2) this is a forum dedicated primarily to sound quality

Oh my apologies, that's not what I meant. Now that I read my own post, I can see how you thought that's what I meant. My fault.

What I meant was, as i looked through other posts on different websites, people asking for good headphones often got responses like "Oh go with so and so. It's $200 but the sound is amazing!"
 
What I meant was sound quality is important...but I'd rather have an average pair of headphones for $30 than amazingly good headphones that are $70.

I know. I'm sorry I don't want to drop over $200 for listening to music. -.-
