I want to delve into the audiophile community, but I'm poor. So i need some recommendations for cheap headphones. My preference is closed back over ears, though I'll settle for anything good (and of course cheap). 

 

For reference, all my life I've had less than 50$ cad IEMs

Either @piratemonkey or quote me when responding to me. I won't see otherwise

Put a reaction on my post if I helped

IEMs currently have the best price to performance currently in regards to sound quality for cheap. what kind of music do you generally listen to, and what is your budget?

Music I listen to is rap (not trap). I do sometimes listen to pop. 

 

Budget is about 100 cad

I don't want it muddy or overpowering I guess. If it's lacking, it's fine

This is my personal favorite for hip hop in this price range has a nice amount of bass but can somewhat controlled but will occasionally sound a little loose. h
