i only want to spend 150 max for earpieces or headphones maybe depending on them but i want them to be a great middle between hardcore rock and rap(what i listen to) so great bass highs mids lows. but maybe more bass but not overpowered by bass were u cant hear anything like the solo beats by dre beats. start saying names i guess and your experience with the item

avoid head phones, unless you don't really care about your future hearing.

bose IE1 are amazing for bass.

Bose IE2 are amazing for clarity and balance

i think im gonna buy monster turbines not the goldens or brass just the plain ones all i hear is that they have bass but it is more managed then dres and is better for listening to every kind of music if anyone has any clue on speaker systems now cause i have a job and and setting myself up XD

Sennheiser HD-25.

Completely modular, and great sound in all ranges.

i cant stress enough how good these are:

my life was changed after i listened to music on the go with them

i would go with head phones, it you really want to spend 150 you should make sure you get a desent pair with a good warrenty also get the cord double'd wrapped for less chance of them breaking, some people like the skull candies, dr dres, etc. but i also found out that you can get head phones that people use for recording are great too. Just go to a Music store and ask about them they'll know what ur talking about

Skull Candies.. ive had two.. both I dont like... they say on the box "sound canceling" what they mean by this is ... BLAST it very loud so u can hear others and than after 10 mins take it off so that u can hear ringing...

Dr Dres I have not tryed...

... Bose = win.... ways to check out or help with ur decission is the sites
