I would like to know if anyone can recommend a good portable headphone for rap and hip hop. Looks are important this will be my first audiophile grade headphone. I have been looking at the vmoda m80s, ultrasone 580 and,sennheiser hd25. I prefer bass quality over quantity I will be purchasing a MOG supscription so all my music will be 320kbs ogg vorbis. My cheap altec Lansing headphones broke and im looking for a great headphone that doesn't require an amp. I will be using my sgs2 ep4gtouch witb a outpit impendence of 49 ohms to power it or my iPod touch. If there are cheaper less attractive choices Im willing to take along with a iem such as the dunu trident. I have no intrest in beats muddy and distorted sound I have convinced a friend to purchase the upcoming senheiser amperior after everyone in our school bought the solos.

They are indeed as durable as they say.  I don't see these ever breaking...in fact, one user even had them run over and after bending the metal back into shape, they were fine. (of course they were wrapped up in sweat pants and the like in a gym bag, but still, pretty impressive)

The Tridents are pretty good, I'd recommend them if you're looking for a cheap, well-built and good-sounding IEM that also looks nice, but they're at a waaaayyy lower level than the M-80s which are excellent.
 
You can wait for the pearl colour if you want, I'm not really sure how much longer you'd have to wait though...they did a short promo-run a few weeks ago and sold a few of them, but I don't remember when they'll be officially released...but it'll be soon.  It's entirely up to you on that.
