Need some new headphones. Any suggestions?

[shockresist]

Title says it all. My headphones just broke, so i need some new ones, but I wanna invest in some decent headphones this time. What are some good in ear or over the ear headphones? Im willing to spend about $100 or less on headphones.

i had some smile jamaica's in fire. they were some nice headphones. I liked them and didnt realize that they were noise cancelling either until i compared them with the older sony ones.

Purpose?

I recently just purchased these, got them yesterday. Still in the "breaking in" process. These are amazing for their price.

I use this for almost everything now, great for Dj'ing and just jammin out to music.


the only problem i seem to have is that their really tight after using for pretty long, tahts maybe cause I have a big head though so you'll be fine.

literally $20, and the quality is pretty damn legit.

I was given Klipsch in ear headphones and they are unbelievably amazing. If there are in my ears properly (if the buds fit properly, they come with different sizes for you to try), I honestly can't hear anything else but the music I'm listening to and the quality of sound it delivers is impeccable and if you like bass as I do, you won't be disappointed.

I highly recommend these.

these are what i use for mixing, and for on the go i have in ear Bose headphones. I used to have Beats for mixing, but they were too bass heavy, and kinda distorted the higher frequencies (These were the 300$ ones).


the AKG are simply amazing, light, and sturdy.

I use sony mdr xb700 extra bass

arguably the most comfortable headphones I've ever come across. I can wear them for hours without getting ear fatigue and the sound quality is really exceptional and clean with a perfect blend of bass treble and overall loudness, I tried out about 20-30 mainstream headphones before choosing these ones and they're listed at a fair price too

comes with a leather bag.. tangle free cord and of course the headphone to amp converter jack.. only con I'd say is the chord length.. I think its 4-5ft long, my old ones were 10 ft so it comes at a slight disadvantage for live djing but for music playback and remixing these are well rounded and worth every dollar. Wouldn't really recommend walking around in public with these on.. kinda too big for that but if your using them at home, definitely recommend these.

If you are going to be listening for several hours and want good sound quality Bose triports (around ear) are incredible.


But for very good sound quality/nice bass etc - sony mdrs or the cheaper dre beats are the way to go.

thanks for the suggestions everyone! ill look into each of the suggestions given. Im looking for headphones for everyday use and for mixing. Also, I need headphones that will last a while. I heard a lot of good things about the sony mdr, so that may be a choice. Has anyone heard of the sol republic headphones? They recently came out and got some decent reveiws.
