Any recommendations on good ones? I'm trying to stay under $200. By most of the reviews I've read online, most of the beats by dre are junk, basically just paying for the name and the sake of following the fad. My sisters beats tour broke a week after she got them, and the beats solo hd seem cheaply made for $180. Not a huge fan of bose either although they have nice earbuds for around $90. Has anyone here used the SOL Republic tracks or tracks hd headphones? They're fairly priced and got really good reviews almost everywhere I've read. Michael Phelps endorses them as well.
Good over the ear headphones?

I've got the Sennheiser RS180... a little pricey, but *well* worth it. My criteria was:
Great headphones... I can travel anywhere in the house, with no signal loss or degradation. All the controls (volume, power, etc.) are on the headphones. I use Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries (1 AAA in each side), and forget about them... the transmitter/cradle is the re-charger.
- Comfort
- Wireless RF (as opposed to line of sight)
- Battery life, and simple recharge
- Range
- Obviously sound quality

DO NOT JOIN THIS FORUMN. I did it, and while im glad I did, ive officially spent over $1500 on headphone gear/headphones. Dont get me wrong, I love my current headphones, and god do they sound awesome, but I did spend some change on em. And read 90% of the reviews on there with a grain of salt, some people on there are ridiculous and will spend $40,000 on headphones, and it really is outrageous at times.
Beats are awful, seriously. What kind of music do you listen to? If you like I can give you a decent reccomendation for around 100-200$, or your preffered price range.

Typically I listen to a lot of hip hop and dubstep/techno/edm etc etc.Over-Ear - Head-Fi.org Community

Price Range? Do you want mini subwoofers, or just good all rounders?

OKay, last two questions, open or closed design? And how will you be using them? At a computer desk all day, or on the go walking places and etc.
