i ended up getting the ath m50's for 110 at B&H (some online store, legit, fast, cheap), my friend who recently bought the dre beats tour? earbuds for 200$ and he was blown away by the m50s. they sound soo nice, for the past week ive been listening to all my music again. a huge improvement over the akg k81dj, the bass is so deep and sexy. i might be ordering a few more for family/friends, AMAZING. these are studio headphones, so you can mix with them
ath m50 = godly
