Superlux headphones are good. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

Its below your price recomendation but I REALLY do love these. So nice.

http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Lightweight-Over-Ear-Binaural-Headphones/dp/B0007XJSQC

I have similar ones - HD 202.

 

I'm not sure how comparable they are to HD 201, but I just compared them to these less-than-$10 earbuds, and these earbuds seriously got more bass going.

If you want good performance at a low price (but nothing too miraculous), go for these earbuds. They're underpriced for the decent performance they pack.

Superlux HD668Bs on Massdrop right now.

You will not find a better headset at this price.

"More bass" is not something everyone wants, nor is bass amount the only indicator of quality.

Yeah, that's true. I've brought back to life an old pair of speakers by fixing the wiring, only to find the sound quality to be okay, but bass to be a bit excessive. However, I still stand behind those earbuds. I can't notice any substantial compromise in quality from the Sennheiser HD 202 to the $7 earbuds.

I personally prefer the Pioneer SE-A1000's to my Superluxes. They are not lacking as much bass for a open pair of headphones, and are pretty comfortable once you mod them a bit (tighting headband, adding support behind the earpads, and braiding the cable). I have actually been using them for my main pair until I get my K7XX's back, and I haven't really missed them as they sound similar. You will probably have to find a used pair to get one under $50, but it is an option.

At a local bookstore they have these $1.00 earbuds. They are comfy and fit inside the ear nicely. I have this app on my phone named PowerAmp and its a fully customization EQ. No joke the crappy setup sounds better than most skullcandy earbuds. 

I will have to check out those Panasonic ones.

thanks for all the recommendations guys! but I've already found my headphones to be ! I thought about the 50 dollar budget and thought why Don't I spend more so I wouldn't spend another headphones for 2 years or so. So I got myself a Bose OE it's a beauty the sound is great and the comfort ability is 10/10 for me !

I second this. Crazy good sound for the price. 

Signature unda construction... in the meantime. Tell me more about yourself. I'm sure you've got an interesting story.

Me, I'd go for the superlux. Superlux and AT M20 should be at about the same level, but M20 is closed, and I don't like closed, so yeah...
