Hey folks,

I am planning on buying some new headphones to replace my aging and slightly broken Shure SHR-550DJ headphones.

Based on some online reviews and price comparisons, I've narrowed my choices down to three:

Audio Technica ATH-M50x - $249 @ BestBuy

V-Moda Crossfade LP2 - $155 @ Amazon

Sennheiser HD-558 - $199 on sale @ East Hamilton Radio

The good news is I can go to EHR to test them out (wall of headphones). Dunno about the Audio Technica phones at Best Buy, and I have no idea where to buy V-Moda's locally. My friend DJ Recca SWEARS by his V-Moda M100's, and they are just $380 upgraded versions of the Crossfade LP2's.

My budget was $250, so either of these will do. Considering the negative reviews on the Sennheiser phones regarding "poor bass" and the "great bass" on the ATH and V-Moda's, I'm probably going to go with one of those two.

I have some time to figure it out...
