    I recommend you wait until cyber Monday and cop a nice, expensive pair for reasonable price. I spent like $150 on my Sennheiser HD 599s. They're normally $250. My first pair of open back headphones. Gives you more separation in the instrumentation and a wider sound stage. Also lets in ambient noise by design so not ideal for public places, but I only rock ear buds in public anyway.

    Typical standard recs are ATH-M50xs and AKG K 240s. Make sure to get something bass heavy if you listen to mainly rap. Having a pair with a flatter frequency response is nice because you hear stuff more accurately, but you will notice how much you miss out on bass.

    got mine from amazon for 120 like two years ago and they sound so crisp. the original ear cushion things kinda give you a headache after like 2 or 3 hours though so i bought some better ones that interchange with it from mass drop, but they are definitely worth every pretty penny once you make the jump
