Hello, I lloking for some headphones, and I want the best bang for my buck ( which isnt a lot

) so I came here to ask the experts.

Here is the deal, I want a new headphones
- I will be listening to them from my PC
- I listen to a lot of bassy music (reggae, EDM, etc) so the bass must be good
- I want them closed circumaural
- Its a plus if they are foldable and/or one side monitoring ( ala dj headphone )
- they must have only 1 cable ( the cable enters in a cup and then the other one run over your head
-The maximum I will be paying is 70-80 bucks shipped to Miami

I was checking the koss ur-40 they look good, ut the 2 cables turned me down since I think they are more **** to get damaged or something

Thanks in advance and I hope you help me get this headphone

I dont think headphones exist w/in those parameters.
I really cant think of any good closed circumaurals that are going to run $60 (excluding shipping).
Supra-aural, maybe the Sony mdr6?
Wow, i really dont know...i hate not knowing

If you can get past the circumaural/single sided wire thing, check out:

AKG k26p (great cans)
Maybe some used...wait!
Just hit me-Senn hd201's are perfect for you. Double sided wire but EXTREMELY affordable (30-40$), very comfy and solid bass-terrific bargain.
Personally, id stay away from the Koss sealed cans.

My final recommendations:
Senn hd201
Sony Md-6
AKG k26P (supra-aural, but killer cans for the price)

umm the Sennheiser HD201 has clean but weak bass...

want something closed circumaural, under 80 bucks shipped.. good amount of bass but not too slppy and also tight when needed.. Sony's MDR-XD400. I own them and love them ... they drive WAYWAYWAYWAY better than any other headphones I used/have.. 24ohms is no joke hehe..
