- Your rig: PC, laptop (all onboard soundcards), iphone 5
- What type of usage: movies, gaming (fps, dota), music
- File format used in your source: mp3
- Genre of music you listen to: rock, metal, pop
- Headphone/ earphone type: closed
- Other requirements (if any): none.

Looking at ATH-M50X, AD-700, AKG-K550 and Beyer COP.

Which would be the best bang for buck?

rock, metal, pop = lots of bass? COP, M50. K550 has bass, but if the fitting is loose, the bass could sound less powerful/impact, but it's really tight and fun.

Mp3? Bro try to find more forgiving headphones, ie. smoother treble. In my opinion, M50x and K550 both have great treble presence, which could make the music sounds more energetic but sometimes could've ruin it. A better music quality will definitely help to let both M50x and K550 sound better!

FYI, COP has mic extension for gaming.

AD-700 good for music. Movie n gaming wise, due to the wide soundstage and lack of bass impact (compared to M50 and COP), it may sound less "fun". Nevertheless, it's really good for orchestra or concert type music.

COP, adjustable bass, customizable look, can attached mic, recent price cut, easy to drive, what else can you ask for?

What about Sony MDR-7506? Seems cheap. But them being studio cans, would it be too analytical?
