    After the death of my lovely hippo booms...
    I now have cruddy apple imitator earbuds so its hard to enjoy music with such low quality :c
    I'm in the search of a new pair of headphones (preferred over-ear cans) and found the Sennheiser 428's on sale for 40$. Are they worth it? Is there a better pair around that price range?
    If they are really good, then I will enjoy them even more after using this s**t earbuds.

    Thanks and have a nice day buds :D

    Oh I forgot to say that I'm a bass head but still want to have overall good quality.
    Also, any recommended cases for these bad boys? :D

    ATH-M30's should be great. Their $100+ big brothers are the top rated cans on Amazon. If you want exaggerated bass and don't mind something kinda silly-looking there's the XB500's.

    I'll check some reviews later on the M30s to see if they live up to their brother's reputations :p

    There's just so many options I don't know which to choose :-:
