theres your problem. :lol:
aha they actually sound really nice and have a good frequency response as well I can hear the sub pretty clearly. but i cannot hear on the left side anymore just because i have had them for so long. so I am now producing with just the right side audible.

and @thewindat420

i am not quite sure to be honest. you can check out walmart and dude I hate that fan I have it can make me cold pretty quick on the highest level it is set at but it falls so easily it's so thin it could easily fall over from anything it has almost broke several times. it's a good fan though don't get me wrong
haha dont ever get me started on that thing xD
ive had it for prolly over 4 years, its so dirty that i keep it outside on my porch :p
i only bring it in to put up in the window to air out a room or something xD
two of the blades are like 1/3rd missing, BUT it is entirely powerful. i could prolly make an airboat out of it on the second setting xD

WOW I LIKE HOW I ASK ABOUT HEADPHONES AND PEOPLE START WITH THEIR SARCASM AND THEIR ARGUING AND THEIR HATRED. WELL I SAY "NO MORE".

can we get back to the original topic?
you know, the one where i asked about a good pair of headphones? yea, bet you all didnt remember that one.
jesus, i saw i had like 20 replies, and i thought "oh yeah! plenty of headphone reccomendations!!!:D" but not. just rambling of unimportantness. the only people that contributed were wub and hypefiend. everybody else just killed a man's positive vibes.
goodness.is a decent pair of headphones too much to ask for on a music forum? D:

bro I linked you to some skullcandy's. $10 and great for what you're asking. Just for listening, right? No production?

edit: I'm sure I did...must be some glitch in the system or something...but anyway, skullcandy ink'd earbuds...just fine for listening.

i cant use those :p but for the price id consider them if i could. i just cant use the earbuds with the little rubber thingies, ive got some kind of ear pressure problem(i cant even swim under 5 feet of water. lol)
EDIT: and ive read that the cords transfer noises to your ears whenever they hit something, and im not too big a fan of that since i move alot :P

As Wub said Sony MDR-V150
Or Sennheiser HD 202 or HD 205

I used the HD 202 for a few years to DJ.

Americans like to insult each other.
Stereotype I know.

Sarcasm does not have to be mocking.
Humor is all subjective anyway.

the hd 202s seem pretty good based on the specs and reviews.
but i read in a review that they can get annoying to people who wear glass(i guess its the case with most ear cup headphones.) would you reccomend them to a glasses wearer? xD

I have worn them with sunglasses and had no issues.
They`re good headphones.
Good noise cancellation.
Louder than most DJ headphones I`ve used.
Excellent sound.
Just not the best for producing as I find the bottom end tends to dominate.
But for DJing and listening, rock solid.

Not sure if you can get these in the US but Stagg do some awesome headphones for the price imo.
All i have right now for production is my laptop, fl studio, a few vst's and my Stagg headphones. (until wages come through next week) ;)
They respond very well to bass, clean mids and a nice crisp high + cheap as chips mate!
Bass is love.
