I've tried a whole bunch and the Shures come to mind, SRH840 over ear netural phones, top notch! Then there are those of us who want some extra thump and the Ultrasones are the best i've tried so far in the "basshead" catagory. Go to the head-fi basshead thread and see what's in your price range, i got the HFI-580s when they were on sale for $120. Everyone has to pick up a pair of Koss KSC75s though ($15, i liked them better than the portapros, to me the PP sound muddy with overpowering bass, though Fenriz does use them
) I've always been looking for a closed pair on a budget to take outdoors but it hasn't happened yet, so i make do with those. They are open so i guess it's a good thing to be aware of your surroundings and they have surprisingly decent bass IMO. If you want in-ear-monitors MEElectronics and Brainwavz, as well as Soundmagic IIRC make nice budget ones, but i got sick of sticking them in my ears and getting wax all over the tips/losing tips/tangling cables.
I use Sennheiser HD25-1s. They rule.
Yah somebody told me these are the best rock headphones they've ever listened to (and they've listened to a boatload more than me) but they sit on the ear and i can't justify $200 phones right now. Also interested in the DT770 Beyers later on.
Stay away from Grado, no bass! I'm trying to sell mine still after a year, maybe if you bring along one of those silly expensive amplifiers with you will you get decent bass, but even if you do don't forget those suckers are big time Open, it's like you literally have two speakers pointing away from your head so keep that in mind. Also they tend to be a bit sparkly in the treble. And TBH they're kinda flimsy with the type of headband they use...
Brainwavs M1, man i was so happy with those babies! I ended up giving them to my cousin, but they had a slick cable and nice sweet kick drum bass, the M2s were supposed to be even more bassy, can't imagine how those sound! They were only $40 and came with foam tips which don't make your ears itch.
