Hey guys, I'm totally new to all of this, so forgive me if I posted in the wrong place or something. But, currently, I'm looking around for some cheap, good quality headphones and so far I've narrowed it down to two different pairs.

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10823&cs_id=1082302&p_id=8323&seq=1&format=1#largeimage
If I get the Monoprices, I would like to get a nice 3.5mm male-male cable along with them, but I'm not sure what is good (Like I said, I'm new to all of this haha)
 
Now I listen to literally everything excluding hip-hop and rap. (Favorite genres are hard metal like Job for a Cowboy/The Acacia Strain, some hard rock, and I also listen to a lot of clean and acoustic music like Bon Iver, Frank Sinatra, etc... So anything really)
I'm probably going to be purchasing a FiiO E6 amp along with whatever pair I get, to ensure I get the most out of them. I like the Sonys because they look really sturdy (I love solid headphones that don't swivel or fold) and they just seem like a solid choice. But I like the 8323s because everybody seems to love them and they're ridiculously cheap. 
Is there anybody who has any experience with one or both pairs that could help me out? I am also open to suggestions in this price range that have a removable cable. 
Thanks!

You cant go wrong with the monoprice. I just got them today and them sound like 80-100 headphones no joke. They have great bass too. Ive read in reviews that the marqiis have crappy bass.
Plus there cheaper too.
