Trouble choosing headphone

[Bjarnen]

If you guys could pick out the best headphone for the price for under about 150$ wich one would it be. I am looking for a pair of headphones for listening to music on.

A pretty good choice for about that (depending what currency) is the Audio Technica ATH-M50's, or the M50X's depending on how cheap you can find them. They're pretty good all around to listen to, a little flat/accurate compared to a lot of headphones but still great to listen to music and in fact is much closer to how the music is meant to sound than most headphones.

Ok, thanks. But is there any other headphone(s) than the m50x that you might recommend?

Just stop, that is 100% a lie.

1. Over priced.

2. Over hyped.

3. NOT FLAT OR ACCURATE.

4. No they are not much closer to how the music is meant to sound.

 

Can you see that bump with the red ring around it, that is the bass. They have a bass boost, they are in no way flat or accurate, they are fairly detailed, but that is not the same as flat or accurate.

Once again, "depending on how cheap you can find them " 

"much closer to how the music is meant to sound " They are much closer. I didn't say they were perfectly flat. Also he isn't using them for studio use OP said he wants to listen to music.

they are not much closer to how the music is "meant to sound". that statement is only true if you compare them to headphones with more bass.

 "a little flat/accurate" BS nothing about them is flat or accurate.

Considering many headphones do advertise booming base or some variation there of (not audiophile headphones mind), it will indeed sound flatter compared to them.

You need to learn something. What companies advertise and what you get is not the same thing. 

Sure they will be "flatter" than beats by dre or monster headphones, but it is out right wrong to call them flat or even a little flat. That bass boost is not small at all.

This is what people call neutral (most likely what you mean)

Then we have flat, the closet to flat I can think about would be some Hifiman Planar headphones
