Which set would you prefer Skullcrushers or the Hesh?, Might be getting a set this afternoon and I want to know which one sounds the best :) Skullcrushers. The Hesh.

Actually that's what I'm looking for is a pair with good bass amplification and I heard skullcandies were the best for it, How is Sony's headsets? The problem that audiophiles (such as those on Head-Fi) have with Skullcandy is that they apparently just offer cheap, bloated, boomy bass, and the rest of the range sounds like crap. The price tag is also way too much given those qualities-you could easily buy Sennheiser or Audio-Technica at that point, maybe even AKG and Beyerdynamic if the prices stretch even higher than I expect. However, I wouldn't be surprised if audiophile-grade cans touted for good bass have a completely different sound on the low end than cheaper cans-one that just may not be to your taste. They're generally looking for audio fidelity, not a pair of skull-rattling subwoofers clamped to their heads.
Skullcandys are fine for the in-ear variety, but other than that, I'd stay away. Interestingly enough, the little rubber/foam/plastic peices that fit over the actual woofers have a lot to do with the sound as well. I use to own a pair of Shures and Bose, and I just recently flipped out the skullcandy covers with one of the shure ones--even doing that the sound is better.
Sennheiser is BY FAR the best headphone for the dollar.
I don't know anything about the the Hesh head phones. I do have the Skullcrushers, they are good for lots of skull pounding bass. I used to like a ton of bass but now i can do without it. I say for the price you really can't beat them.
Bose around-ear headphones have pretty awesome sound and wonderful bass. I could barely tell when I was wearing them they're so comfortable. They also aren't THAT expensive. Mine broke after about a year because the wire to the right earphone was frayed and I could then only hear out of the left one. Still, if you take good care of them, they're worth it.

That's my biggest gripe with Bose and Shures. I've owned +100 in-ear phones by both brands, and I expected far better build quality. Really, things like that should not happen, and reinforcing the cable wouldn't really cost them anything.
And just to inform you guys, I bought a set of Sennheiser HD-202's a couple days ago and it's about the best headset I've owned in a long time. Also thanks for your help, Guys
The Hesh.
