Q. I listen to a lot of electro, pop, rock, punk music. I have a pair of Skullcandy earbuds that aren't bad at all considering they're only earbuds. I'm looking to buy DJ headphones next, but I have no idea which I should get. (Need them at a reasonable price...I don't plan on becoming a DJ anytime soon lol) Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Moderately priced headphones?
Q. My boyfriend and I have our 4th anniversary coming up, as well as his 22nd birthday a few days after, I'm already getting him a watch and I wanted to get him a new set of headphones. I don't want cheap, but I definately can't afford beats audio or anything like that. Does anyone know of any good quality brands that are around $50? Maybe a little higher. All in all I'm looking for best quality with a more modest priceline. Any advice helps! Thanks!

Hey, Courtney
There are a wide selection of headphones available on the market at the moment, and for the most part, the quality of the craftmanship and sound will depend on the price that you are willing to spend. On the lower price range (less than $50), you will be able to find some no too shabby headphones that will be perfect for someone who is just planning to listen to music on their iPod or computer, and are not full-on audiophiles. In the medium price range ($50-150), you will get a great selection of very high quality headphones that would be perfect for nearly everyone who is not involved with music professionally. The sound quality of these headphones are going to be suberb, should block out nearly all background noise, and will be of a quality craftmanship that will last for a very long time. On the expensive end of things ($150 and up), you are going to get into professional quality headphones. For most people this will be a bit too much as they provide a quality of sound that is amazing, but is generally only sought after by professionals who are working on their own music (or the type of consumers who make sure that their house is wired with the best speaker systems on the market).
Depending on the amount you are willing to spend, my top five recommendations (from cheapest to most expensive) would be:
Sennheiser HD 202 II Professional
http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/sennheiser-hd-202-ii-professional/
This model provides good insulation against background noise and has a solid bass range and response time. Perfect for someone who is wanting an affordable set of quality headphones.
Sennheiser RS120
http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/sennheiser-rs120/
These are very affordable for wireless headphones. They feature an open-ear system with a strong bass response. Because they're wireless, you don't even have to be in the same room as what is transmitting the sound, giving you ultimate range while listening to music. Very lightweight and a high quality. I have this set for using around my home.
Sennheiser HD280 Professional
http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/sennheiser-hd-280-pro/
Here we are well into the midrange quality headphones. These ones are corded, but provides a much better sound quality than the RS120. They can provide up to 32 dB attenuation of outside noise, so you don't have to worry about much from background noise, even in somewhat noisy environments.
Beats by Dr. Dre Solo HD
http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/beats-by-dr-dre-solo-hd/
These are on the high-end spectrum of headphones. They are very comfortable and are able to produce an amazing sound quality. If you're looking for something that is "in-style" and provides you with some of the best sounds you can find in this price range, these are the headphones for you.
Bose Quietcomfort 15
http://headphones.respectablereviews.com/bose-quietcomfort-15/
I use these when I am playing live shows. They are some of the best headphones you can get right now, are very comfortable when wearing for many hours at a time (even in hot, sweaty clubs), block out almost all background noise and provide nearly unmatched sound quality. For someone looking for professional quality headphones, or with a big budget wanting the best money can buy, these are the headphones for you.
The most important thing for choosing the headphones, is the consider what you will be using them for and don't over estimate how much headphone-power you will need. If you're looking for something to use on the bus or just while you're hanging out, listening to music, you probably don't need top of the line Bose. Good luck, Courtney, and I hope you find the perfect set!
