I listen to a lot of music. I want better headphones. 100 is as far as I'll go, so just suggest away!

My current headset is picking up a nearby radio station and it wouldn't be a problem except skype calls during the day (they turn the radio off at night I guess) are riddled with my friends constantly complaining about it and me having to change my entire body position to see if it stops picking up the radio so yeahh.

Thanks in advance~~~

What
These are pretty bass heavy if that's what you're asking
Also they're comfortable as fuck. I can wear them for several hours straight without any discomfort.

AKG 240s warning cord is 9ft. You can buy a shorter one if you want.

Pretty sure I'm missing one more. :V

If that's what you want you may consider getting a bass shaker.

Think Lewd has ATH-M50s which are like $150. No wait, looks like they're $90-100 now. Go for those definitely. Tons of people seem to like em.

Confirmed that they're bass heavy.

Well technically all sound is vibration, depends how loud they are lol.

Think these add a decent bit to the cost :P

Compass posted some nice ones too... but if you're looking for bass, the ATH-M50 has the most of those if I remember correctly. They won't do this

but they're still boosted.

If you want that, you'll need to get some shitty headphones (or something else like Sumpfkraut said).
