Gee? I think this thread belongs in the off topic section! It's not one type or another it;s the quality and bass response for a particular head set sought. Once you get into having custom fitted ear pieces on head sets you are then taking high prices expected to be seen on studio gear. The Koss pair mentioned earlier would have been a grab here if I didn't simply go for a pair of cordless to allow mobility while working on something.

I hate the Shure e2c's and will probably upgrade to the 3 or 4 models when they die (2 year warranty = awesome).

I'm only listening to hip hop that's why I need a lot of bass. And my computer has not a lot of bass so dont hesitate to give me the best for that !

Thanks in advance !

Try the Sony MDR-XD-100.

I own this set of headphones and they are really good once you crank them up with my sound card utility.

They are 50 dollers as last ive seen in australia at dick smith.

Sometime back I tried a set of Sony head phones to compare them to Koss. The pair by Sony then sounded like an old dog looking into monograph icon RCAVictor records uses for their trade name. In other words mid range only is the best description for those. Without paying a high price for studio quality phones Koss remained the top.

The current set of Sony cordless spotted in of all places Radio Shack offers far better sound then those old ones while not quite what you are looking for there. Without the cordless here the Koss set with the metal band over the plastic frames seen at newegg would be looked at here since deep bass is needed here at times. For the top stuff you will then have to start in the high price range there.

The $20 round sony heaphones are THE best sounding cheap-o headphones i've ever heard.

I don't know what model you're referring to that sounded bad. Sony makes very good headphones, in general.

These were a pair grabbed in a dept store some time back. Those weren't anything recently when I ran into those. That was in 1998 or '99 then. If you could hear how those sounded you wouldm't have to ask why I stuck with Koss!

They sounded like a mid range tunnel or an 1930's turntable with a single funnel for sound! Those had a heavier plastic frame for the full set then. Nowadays everything has gone lightweight and fall apart fast. Like the old style Koss and ohter makes they looked like studio headphones only plactic and foam ear pieces.
