[QUOTE="DivergeUnify"]AKG K240 is my sub 100 dollar reccomendation, if you can work with open. They sound fantastic and imo better than Shure 840 or ATH M50Bikouchu35
Is that so? I borrow the k701 from time to time and I cant wrap my head around the open sound :\ I seriously want to like them but they just very weird to me and my friend agrees.
I've never heard the K701 so I can't comment, but where the K701 is supposed to be very treble/mid focused with deep, but no bass impact, the K240 has pretty nice bass with nice mids so its kind of in the opposite direction sound wise :P
A bit of everything, alt rock, (rarely) rap, some techno/electronica, (again, rarely) pop, etc.

Its a great all around headphone, probably the most versatile I've personally heard( although its also the most expensive headphone I've heard). Do you have any pair of headphones now? Nope, but i have before. Very low quality, and was only used to talk with people online. But what genre of music is it best for? And how is it for gaming? I think it best suits music with electronic elements and jazz, and goes pretty well with rock( although I don't think its preferable to a pair of Grados for rock, but again, its more versatile overall). For gaming I haven't used it too much. I've played Battlefield 3 with them for about 30 minutes and it was a blissful experience :D
[QUOTE="DivergeUnify"][QUOTE="kris9031998"] Anyways, so how is the 650 is general? Its my top pick right now, but i want to know, how good is the bass? I mean i dont want an overwhelming bass (beats, which suck) but i want a pretty good bass at minimum.kris9031998
Bass is very good, goes low, and gives a dark tone overall to the headphones, but definitely is not overpowering at all. Like I said it doesn't have too much slam and I wouldn't consider it a bassy headphones. The mids are excellent, so beautiful and full. The highs are a little rolled off, but there is definitely detail there( some songs they have better treble extension than my Grados which have a lot more treble overall) What kind of music do you llisten to?

[QUOTE="kris9031998"] And how about a Sennheiser HD 650? Its the one ive been looking at the most, and some people have used the two amps with it just fine.kris9031998
I've had a few hours of time with the HD650 while amped by the E7/E9. You WILL NOT be disappointed. They sound absolutely fantastic. I can't say they produce some of the best mids known to man, as I haven't heard all headphones, but they're some of the best mids known to man :P Bass response also goes quite low, although it doesn't have a ton of slam if thats what you're looking for( I doubt you would care though- the whole presentation is great)
I normally use them out of a nuforce udac2 and they still sound pretty great, although much more lethargic and boring.
I'm sure there are better amps out there and I've been talking to NVIDIA about them, such as the Audio GD NFB 12
