Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone here could help me choose a new pair of headphones, as it is hard to test them out before buying where I live. Let me set out my requirements:

-Bass (lots of it, comparable to Skullcrushers or Beats)
-Stylish design (I'm aware that this is subject to personal taste, I just don't want to look like a cyborg)
-Overear/full size
-Comfortable
-1.3-1.5m cable
-Cheaper than Beats (people are always saying you can get better for less money, let's hear it)
***Bonus points if it comes from this list:

Let me also put it out there that I don't have the smallest head in the world :p



I look forward to your advice.
 
Hello, I dont think so Iphone will give bass on headphones. I know because I am using Iphone. Its basically made for vocal.

Completely untrue. Do you actually own one? My Skullcrushers and my Titans are bassy, and so were the Beats when I tested them. I would get the Beats but I simply cannot justify paying that much for headphones.
 
I have always been rocking my Grado sr 60i's for the past couple of years and it's been amazing. Anyone that loves music must listen to their collection with a pair to fulfill their music needs.

From the reviews I've read they're neither bassy nor that comfortable. I get that you like them but please read my list before replying. I'm looking for Beats bass and comfort on a smaller budget.

I'm sorry, but you are horribly uninformed. The iPhone 4 offers an incredible flat EQ. If someone buys headphones for bass, they're gonna get lots of it. It's basically made for anything you wanna listen to.
 
Sony MDR-V6. Cheap, excellent sound, durable as anything on the market, and have the understated look of a professional dj.
