I would say if you are willing to spend $100 or a little more, you should get Sennheiser headphones. I have the hd515 set and they sound amazing and are extremely comfortable.

beyer dynamic dt770 pro is what i have, though they are expensive as fuck, i got em from my friend at guitar center who gave me like 150 bucks off, but they kick ass, the material that goes on your ear feels like cashmire

Okay so so far I have 3 different opinions of 3 different headphones. EEee... I trust everyone's opinion, so I think I'll make my choice from those 3 according to price and reviews.

Thanks everyone!

I think these are pretty much the best headphones money can buy.

Later

I like around ear headphones
It's good for when I'm at work because I can play the music loud without it bothering people and it's good for drums so that it dampens the drums a lot more when I play along

ah, then you might want to rule out the ones I recommended. They are awesome, but they are designed as "open" headphones. So even though they go around your whole ears, they don't try to block the sound in or out. If you play the music really loud, people around you can hear, and when the music is soft you can hear other things around you. Basically they are definitely not "noise-cancelling", like the Bose types. Sennheiser does sell noise-cancelling headphones though, and I bet the are nice (never tried any, though)

Sennheisers! I own like 4 different pairs but my favorites are the HD-555's and HD-595's....the 595's might be more than your willing to spend but I can get you a pair of 555's (which i'm using right now) for under $100 and they are absolutely amazing.

Hit me up on AIM and we'll talk headphones son~

I got my 595's for $175 brand new and my 555's used for $70

I'll be getting some HD-650's or AKG K701's sometime before christmas....now those are pricey~

how did you get new hd595 for so cheap?

The price was lowered on the 595's awhile back but the website never updated the MSRP. If nothing has changed, they usually go for around $200ish brand new online

I got mine on ebay and the auction ended really late around 4 am~
