Hi, as you can see this is my first post. I honestly don't think i could handle the techy conversations that continously happen here, but I respect all your knowledge so I can actually find a decent pair of headphones. Who knows though, I may get into this "audiophile buisness."
So for a christmas present, I am looking for 50-100 dollar range full size headphones that have good sound quality for the price. Most of my collection is of high quality (192 kbps to 320 kbps, and when possible, my preferred bit rate of 200+ VBR). I am planning to use these headphones for my computer and my ipod. I will be going to college next year, and I suspect these will be my primary laptop headphones too. I will probably be buying a macbook, have yet to decide though. As a result, all this talk about amps that I dont quite follow (feel free to expand on that), I dont think i will be messing with, but the part of good bitrates are taken care of.
My preferred music taste varies greatly. I listen to many forms of electro (including the deep bass ones such as the genre dubstep) I also listen to nearlly all forms of rock, to oldies such as led zepp, pink floyd, metallica, to modern ones. These moderns could be punk, emo, and even screamo/metal music. I also listen to a good amount of peaceful music with no lyrics (Boards of Canada, Mogwai, and Pretty Lights). Finally, I like good rap, more of the lyrical kind rather than the mainstream stuff (ex. Immortal Technique, NaS). So this may not really help, since its like everything, but i like pretty much all music except country.
Well ther ya have it, sorry for the long post, but I assume you guys here would prefer more information as opposed to having to ask it. Feel free to ask more info though. Thanks for your time!

. The only thing is, I wouldn't suggest them for things like Dubstep, Drum n' Bass, or House. I use my "bass bloated" Koss PortaPros for that. My suggestion, grab the SR-80i for your rock, classical, and jazzy bits of music. Then, for about 30 some odd dollars on Amazon or even at BestBuy, pick up a pair of PortaPros. The bass is really great on those cans, and electronic music sounds fantastic!
