Speaking of headphones and what not.. I use AKG k240s atm and I love them. They are studio level headphones I believe and I like that. If I want to mess with the bass I'll do it with software ect not on the headphones. Also they were pretty cheap compared to the quality you get.

Won't ship to my address, bummer.

I assume you don't live in the US then?

In any case... I'll try and find the current up to date hi-fi.org buying guide. I'm pretty sure that the AKG k240s are not even in the "best bang for your buck" range anymore while they are still good headphones.

Hi-Fi.org Headphone buying guide

Just use that pretty much. And it DOES appear that the AKG k240 is still on the list

AKG K240, $80-$100. Good build quality, detachable cable. Tight natural highs, slightly forward mids and highs.

Things to avoid
In general it's best to avoid products made by Skullcandy, Bose, Beats, or Monster unless otherwise specified in this thread. These companies spend a lot of money on advertising and looks rather than quality. That isn't to say these companies haven't put out headphones worth buying, the Monster Turbine Coppers are actually fantastic IEMs, it's just that a lot of the time you're paying a premium for the name.

It is so true it is funny... my friends/brother all go through at least 1 pair of headphones a year... I bought my AKG k 240s on April 8, 2012  and they are still pretty much good as new. The cord is curling a bit... but it works fine and I can always buy a new one and plug it in :D  (Same with the headphone pads I can buy new ones of those) ..I'm pretty sure those features are pretty common on hi-fi approved headphones as well.

I'll still suggest you mine, but I forget what they're called Audio Technica AD-700's I believe.

Relatively cheap, and quite good. Super comfy too.

I'm gunna leave you anyway.

Right now.. those would not be good to buy imo for the bang for the buck.

For some reason they are $150 atm but I am used to seeing them under $100.

"Audio Technica ATH-AD700, $85-$150. Great comfort and decent build quality. Weak bass though it has some impact, detailed mids"

But those are good headphones amazon link to them just a bit ugly imo haha

But seriously don't take my word for it... just look at the buying guide.

The price is dependent on where you live. Unfortunately lots of headphone companies don't ship to Canada, so unless you can find a specialty shop, or have a US mailing address you're fucked a lot of the time. You can find them on sale in other places online as well, I got mine for $ I think. I'm not sure, perhaps it was more.

They fit what I wanted, and why the hell do I care what they look like when I'm just sitting at my computer? There's no reason for me to carry these around on a day to day basis. They also are a lot more pink then then the picture makes them look.

The "weak bass" is a questionable comment. With even the most minor of EQ changes they hit harder than most headphones I've listened to, and the mids and highs are quite nice.

I'm gunna leave you anyway.
