it depends on what you're looking for, but these are my suggestion.

in the last three years i've been through 17 pairs of headphones, ranging from $4 to $250. Out of all these, the sennheisers have proven to be the best. They've lasted the longest (they still work even though my dog sat on them and broke one rotation restrictor on the headphone, so it spins and twists more than it should).
The sennheisers are just a little lacking in the feeling you get with the bass, but they're extremely clear and keep in the sound a lot. A personal pet peeve of mine is when other people can hear my music, so that's a plus for me. They don't keep a lot of sound out, but they're great for at-home use. The cord is 7 or 8ft long, which works well for me because i use my laptop in my bed, so if i need to grab my backpack for whatever reason, i can get up and grab it without having to take off my headphones.
they are very well made, you could only break them by dropping them on the subway track... which i unfortunately did... BUT they are amazing! some of the best headphones i've ever had!

those are good too, they have the same issue of no sound cancelation, but they're more portable than the sennheisers. they're comfortable with an over-the-ear closed back design, but they can make your ears a little sweaty (eww) after a long, long time. They're not as square as the senns, they look more like a headband than the senns, which look a little dork on...
i only had these for a week before i traded them with a friend for another pair i wanted to try, and i never got them back... i think he lost them... so i dont have as much experience with them as the senns.
if you want headphones that give you extreme bass and that look cool, check these out

they're the cheap version of the dr dres, they look just as cool, and they've got basically the exact same sound quality. One thing: they leak sound like crazy. If you dont care about that, then these are for you. I care about that a lot, so i hated these, but that's just me, and most people don't care about that as much as i do.

my friend says to recommend these for any electronic listeners. i haven't had them, but you can check them out if you like electronic music. they look pretty cool and the specs aren't half bad.
Good luck with all this, being an audiophile, I love buying new headphones, but i know for some people it's just confusing and annoying. i hope you find what you're looking for, and if you need more assistance just send me a message or something.
P.S. I've got a fever as of right now, so i'm sorry if any parts of this made no sense...

dyllan c
i found a few headphones i liked and wanted to know which to buy it is between audio-technica ath-m40fs and skullcandy hesh i only got around 50 bucks so yeh and i wanted to know if there was others maybe better or which one of these are better
Answer
I got these headphones a couple years ago due to an obnoxious roommate who loved blasting music on his stereo.. still got them and they're great.
They are listed at around $80 on Amazon, but this link is for $46 and they are supposedly new.

Of the two you listed, I'd probably go with the Audio-Technica; I've had bad experiences with Skullcandy headphones, and the reviews for the ath-m40fs seem to be pretty good in general.
