November 22, 201015 yr I'm looking for some good, cool looking over-ear headphones to get. I'm currently looking at these, because of how they look, they seem to be pretty good, and the cords are pretty sick: Amazon.com: V-MODA Cross-fade LP Over-Ear Headphones (Gunmetal Black): Electronics Amazon.com: V-MODA XFLPR-ROUGE Crossfade LP Over-the-Ear Headphones (Rouge): Electronics The only problem is, the reviews say that they are mostly for dance music. They're on sale, so I was wondering what opinions you had, or a comparable set for the price. I mostly listen to music like Forever the Sickest Kids, All Time Low, Disney, Nevershoutnever, The Maine, etc. Thanks.
November 23, 201015 yr Author The cords are sick? They're reinforced with kevlar, so I think that's pretty sweet. Oh, and I should mention that the highest I can go is $200, and I would prefer it to be a tad lower.
November 23, 201015 yr Amazon.com: Etymotic ER-4P Portable In-Ear Earphones: Electronics One used from $180. Here endith the lesson.
November 23, 201015 yr Dude, you took a wrong turn. We're the forum that doesn't give a fuck what you listen to. Read your fucking welcome PM!
November 23, 201015 yr Lordy, those things in the links are fucking hideous. Do you by chance like Alienware computers? I personally like the way these look: Amazon.com: Audio-Technica ATH-ES7 Portable Headphones, Black: Electronics I've never heard them nor intend to, but some people seem to like em. Honestly though, if you don't absolutely need to look like a dumbass, get some IEMs like Duggeh says.

November 23, 201015 yr If you want a good closed dynamic can that's not difficult to drive and won't break after 6 weeks (or in my case, 10+ years) get these: Sony 7506 Closed Ear Headphone MDR-7506 | BSWUSA.com And get these to go with them: Beyerdynamic Padded Earcushions for DT250/DT280 942704 B&H Photo
November 23, 201015 yr the audio technica m50's are the FOTM over at head-fi. they might actually be decent too. :3
November 23, 201015 yr I still advocate the lovely er-4. True though it has been FOTM for like ten years.

I'll probably get those then. Thanks for the help. Also, this is my first time actually trying to get quality headphones, the ones I'm using now are crappy drugstore headphones I got like 4 years ago.
November 23, 201015 yr A wise choice, but don't skip the Beyer pads. The stock pads on 7506s get uncomfortable quickly.
November 23, 201015 yr Wow this thread concluded in a refreshingly painless way. Helpful head-case is helpful.
