Sennheiser makes a quality product, for sure.

The thing is, most in-ear headphones have very similar frequency response ranges. None of them have the bass response I like.

Here's a review from CNET:

I have Shure E5cs which I absolutely love. Unfortunately, they cost an arm and a leg. If you could just squeak your budget up to no more than $100, you should be able to get a really nice sounding set. I like Sennheiser and Shure, but I've also heard good things about Ultimate Ears.

Over $300 for earbuds? You must really like your music.

believe me...i'd love to have a higher budget...stupid college is killing me!!! there's way too many choices for headphones. i'm a tech guy, but even i think the selection is crazy. looks like its time i did some comparing.

I hate in ear headphones. I've tried them all and even owned the Shures till my dog ate them. I never wore them though because these over the ear ones KICK ASS and have great BASS!

These are the best headphones for iPods, bar none..

i was looking at those. i guess because they're collapsible they could serve my purpose. decisions, decisions.

how are the sennheisser px200's? they look like a closed model of the px100. i want to be able to use them at the library, so maybe a closed model is better? i already have a pair of grado sr60's so i'm not sure if i need another open model. what do you guys think?

If over the ear cans are now in the picture, I know a lot of people won't agree with me, but if you want to hear every detail of the music, as it was recorded, Sony MDR-7506, game, set, match. There is a reason they are studio monitors around the world. They are a bit more than you want to spend though. A lot of people don't like them because they can be very harsh with poorly recorded music, but I find they are very faithful.
