I want large sound, big Bass, and good quality. Which are the best? I was thinking of the Solo HD but now I'm rethinking it.

Edit:

Alright, so I've been looking at 3 kinds that I love the look of:

Studio
Pro
Executive

Which of those have the best sound? I personally like the Studio ones. But do they deliver the same sound as the other ones? It just mentions the noise cancelling power it has.

I ordered myself some Studios because one of my friends has them and I LOVED them. To me, they sounded pretty good. Idk about the Pro's or Executive. It all depends on how much you want to spend on them. I'm sure they all have good sound.

Please please don't get Beats. They are over hyped, and sound quality isn't as great as everyone makes it seem.

Look at Audio Technica or Seinheiser or something like that. Their quality is just as good, if not better, and they're cheaper.

Please don't get Beats. They break easily, sound just isn't as great, and their bass overpowers everything.

do not get beats, unless you get the full metal ones. but they are just way tooo expensive. there are way better headsets that offer better sound quality, bass, and noise canalization than beats by dre, that are also cheaper.

Beats are dumb, you can get way better for way cheaper.

Sennheiser are much better than Beats! Beats are just expensive promoted shit, like Apple..
And if you want maximum loudness, look for headphones with high sensivity and low impedance (my are 119 dB\mW, 26 ohm and they are pretty loud but I prefer to listen on low volume)

are 65 ohm and 96 db/mw good? what does db/mw do and what does 26 ohm do? do you want both ohm and db/mw high?

Beats, by Dr. Dre. Because nothing makes music sound better than wasted money.

Hmm, those should work, but depends of sound source. My friend's ipod can't give really much power for them, but my phone can. Anyway, if your phone/player won't give enough power, you always can buy a headphones amplifier. Also, you need LOW impedance and HIGH sensivity to get more loudness.

Don't get beats, they are an over hyped fashion accessory with pretty poor sound quality. I DJ'd for a while at some pretty loud clubs and for noise cancelling and fantastic sound quality I recommend sennheiser.

Headphones with active noise cancelling require amplifier or a powerful source (like computer) so it could be a problem to take them outside. But you don't need a noise canceller if you have high quality sound source. Also, battery for noise canceller lasts ~2-3 days, same for amplifier, so accumulators are best suggestion if you will use headphones with noise cancelling.

I'd suggest you Sennheiser HD 380 Pro, they are really cool and I wish I have money for them, but don't buy them before you test them, because our tastes could be different.

ohms - the impedance or effective resistance of the headphones, describes how hard they are to drive (so higher impedance require more power).

db/mw - decibels (loudness) per mw (power) - a measurement of how much "bang you get for your buck" in terms of volume.

Neither of these describe quality of the delivered sound.

Agreed. I like in-ear ear buds that seal because they do an excellent job of excluding outside noise so you don't need the headphones so loud and get a better experience.

I have some dre beats that came with my phone, they aren't too bad but I don't like the way the beats sound processing works on music (but actually quite like using them on my PC for gaming as they do a great job with explosions and environmental effects).

I have some mid range Sennheisers and would definitely recommend them.
