choice for 0-$350 Bass headphones

[Only The Best 10+ year member]

So I listen to a wide variety of music that includes everything from country to mostly dubstep and skrillex... I dont touch screamo **** though. I'm looking for some nice high quality headphones that I can wear for hours and feel the bass hardcore. Dont mention Beats, I've heard them all and they are too expensive for their inept ability to produce a decent sound response. I've been looking at the V-moda crossfade m100's as well as the beyerdynamic Custom One Pro headphones. From those two you can see where I'm getting at. If anyone could suggest some opinions it would be greatly appreciated.

koss cl20 are the best i've came across deep clear bass, lifetime warranty if anything goes wrong they replace them, no questions asked, I've sent back ones my dog ate and they replaced... they cost like 30-40 but out perform alot of the 100-150 headphones i've had....

I'm also looking for set of headphones with (decent) bass response while retaining sound quality, but don't want to spend more than $100 on them..

I have a Fiio E11 and a Yulong Audio Sabre DA8. The E11 is fine for the average user. Depending on the headphones you get it will be completely worthless though. If the headphones have a low ohm load and high sensitivity you wont need an amp. .

what did you mean by it would be worthless would u mind explaining/?

on higher end headphones where the ohm load is very high, you need large amounts of power or stable power at matching ohm loads. the fiio E11 is fine for most headphones but when you come to audiophile grade headphones, you need a dedicated and powerful amplifier and DAC. For example the fiio E11 can power a beyerdynamic dt770 80 ohm version fine but if its the 300 ohm version of that headphone then its not enough power.

Check out the Shure SRH750DJ's. There are authorized Shure dealers on eBay and you can get them very close to that price.

Mediocre at best if you have heard a decent set of headphones or IEM's.
