I listen to various alternative/indie bullshit. Acoustic guitars, synths, etc.
Some degree of isolation would be a good idea as I'll be moving into a dorm in the next few months.
Looking for something in the $50-$100 range and I live in northwest USA.
oh also, I'm a bit of a bassfag.
Check out Guitar Centre and try some of the shit there and see what you like.
You might want to consider the ES7 too (don't buy from ebay). They're supraaural though so they rest on the ears.
Not too much of a specialist on bassy headphones to be honest, certainly not in this pricerange.
Outside of your price (used options) are DT770pro, M-AudioQ40.
The sony XB series seems fairly popular in america at the moment if forums are anything to go by, but I've never heard them and the bass looks skullcandy level so I personally wouldnt be able to tenjoy them at all
edit: Actually, you might want to consider a Creative Aurvana Live. It's a rebranded Denon AHD-1001 and can be had for ~$100. Try them out first if you can (shouldnt be too hard)
