My M-Audio Q40's came in today and have been using for the past few hours and they're excellent, nice to hear the lows and other details that were absent in the headphones I was using previously. Extremely satisfied with them, thanks for the recommendation.

Budget: $30-50 at the most (I Can only use my Amazon.com Gift Card to buy these)
Music Preference: A little bit of everything from rap, to hip-hop, pop, classic rock, dubstep, etc.
Form Factor (Type): On Ear
Open-backed or close-backed (not for IEMs): Either Would be Fine
Source (MP3 player/desktop/etc): Ipod Touch and Laptop
What's above everything else? - Sound quality / Looks or Design / Build quality / Portability:
Sound Quality, Looks/Design, A bit of Portability

Hesh 2.0 is good, I wouldn't doubt it for a second (okay maybe I would). Skullcandy hired a new sound/acoustics engineering team and their quality has gone way up.

No problem, glad you like them.

Although my SkullCandy headphones are quite good, I'll need a recommendation for when something happens to them. Let's begin.

Budget: anything $0-100
Music Preference: Soft rock (e.g Coldplay)
Form Factor (Type): over ear
Open-backed or close-backed (not for IEMs): Whatever floats your boat (what do you recommend?)
Source (MP3 player/desktop/etc): Android Phone and Laptop Computer
What's above everything else? - Sound quality / Looks or Design / Build quality / Portability: I'd like some portability and high bass. That's it ^^

A bit over my price range, but ill think about it. Know of any others? At the most $50

Koss PortaPro is fantastic.

MSM 01-19-2013 12:46 PM

They look nice, i just think the shape of them look a bit strange

Cassette - Black/Black w/Mic - These look nice, I like headphones with this shape, similar to beats

The Doctor 01-19-2013 02:30 PM

Talon - do you know any headphones with the specs I've described plus a microphone?

MSM 01-19-2013 02:56 PM

Do you think these are good for the price? Look at the Features and Specs as well. http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/cassette-black-black

http://www.skullcandy.com/shop/uprock-sc-black-eu

Please tell me which you think is better, I will buy it today from a store.

MSM 01-19-2013 08:53 PM

I went to go buy them, and the cassette ones are REALLY small. Instead I bought the uprocks, and they are excellent. Cancels out sound and sounds excellent!

Don't know of any over-ears sub-$100 with a mic but there are some good in-ears with inline mics. If you're going to use it with a PC you can just buy an external clip-on mic.

I have a crappy USB mic, so if you recommend any microphones, I'd be glad to buy some on amazon.

Budget: 0-45 dollars
Features: Clip on

I'm looking for something that can pick up sound tremendously good and cancel background noise good.

HAHAhahahHAHAHahahah

Sennheiser/AKG/Audio Technica/Beyerdynamic/Ultrasone/Grado

All of these brands blow Skullcandy/Beats out of the water, effortlessly. No debate. Honestly the only people that buy those two brands are because they're colorful/look nice or their friends have some. Don't lie. Skullcandy's starting to get better but they're still suboptimal by a good margin for the price you pay.
