my 150$ shures sound incredible they are really clear but the vocals can distort sometimes. but i have these 20$ no name brand headphones that sound like trash except for the vocals. why is this.

What is your bitrate for your files? Or is this ssssssssssibilance?

Yeah...I think that good headphones and bad music files don't mix well in many cases.

What are you listening to? A lot of the crap kids listen to nowadays is horribly brickwalled.

Here's a better question, there's no such things as 20 dollar no name headphones. What's the company? Model number by any chance?

I'm noticing similar. It sounds like clipping, but it does not matter what volume / source I use (file is 320kbps mp3, or even the original CD).
 
I'm of the opinion that good headphones pick up the distortion present, while the cheap ones do not have the resolution to play what is there... well I hope so, as otherwise my gear is stuffed.
 
edit: i dont notice this on every song, just some select ones.

Source? And still not ruling out sibilance.

My question is, what type of headphones are the $20 ones...?

What sort of cans do you have? Perhaps your source can't adequately drive your headphone and what you're hearing is clipping.
