I am looking for a set of headphones just for music I probably won't use them for gaming cause I already got a headset for that. I listen to alot of dubstep so I need headphones with really good bass also I want them to be over the ear, not on the ear No skullcandy bullshit :p

I heard some sennheiser headphones are good

I am looking to spend around $100 - $150

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

these would be my recommendations for dubstep.

http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=319

http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=226

http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=5 (little uncomfortable for long sessions. I owned a pair. Nothing 2 cable ties and some dense foam from clark rubber cant fix! )

http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=445 (very good!)

http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=446 (little over budget)

you will probably notice that most (except for DT440's) of my recommendations are closed models. This is because for your budget you will not find bassy headphones for electronic music. None worth buying in any case.

i have Beats By Dre Pro. Top of the range beats by dre. just a casual $600.

good headphones. but if you only wanna spend $100-$150 i would recommend these: http://www.beatsbydre.com/products/Products.aspx?pid=B5933&cat=2
my friend actually has a pair and rates them very highly

excuse me one second.. im going to vomit, ill be right back.

edit: i'll elaborate, Beats by Dre are waaaay overpriced for their performance. It's all marketing BS. Just look at the homepage and straight away you see the Monstor logo. That in itself should be a dead give away.

you will probably find that all of these headphones will be better for gaming than whatever you are using now.

I swear that these people who recommend Beats by Dre have only ever had Beats by Dre. They are terrible for their price.

Wow, no clue on headphones whatsoever. I recommend Audiotechnica Ad-700's but the only negative is that the bass isn't very prominent.
