If you can handle the size, you'll love the Sony XB700. If it's bass you're after, look no further! If you'd rather have something smaller, just tell me.

Active noise canceling has a negative impact on sound quality. If you're listening to music on your headphones and want incredible sound isolation (passive noise canceling), consider a pair of Etymotic IEMs. I recommend the Etymotic ER4 for your budget, but there are cheaper Ety models that isolate equally well. You could buy a pair of Etymotic MC5s for ~$60 and get a pair of over-ear headphones with the remaining budget.

Otherwise, the Shure SRH940 is a good choice. Keep in mind that it is not bassy. If you want a different sound, the Ultrasone Pro 900 is a good choice with a bassier sound. They do need to be amped, and I definitely approve of the PA2V2! B&H had a great price on them, but they're out of stock for now. Hopefully they're be back soon since the prices are all over the place. On Amazon they're like $550.

Noise cancelling actually is more or less pointless if you don't travel on airplanes a lot. Closed headphones can usually isolate as much noise as you need once you put on music.

Do you plan on bringing them with you? The Sony Z1000 is a good all around headphone if you aren't stationary 100% of the time. The PA2V2 is apparently a good amp, but a Mini3 is apparently even better. I love mine.

Here's a decent price on the Z1000, Amazon charges $450, which is ridiculous.

Fiio took a lot of "inspiration" from the Mini3 with their E11, so if you're looking for something that is not DIY or harder to get, the E11 is a very similar choice.

The Objective 2 DIY amp is also superior to the Mini3/E11 and can be built on a tight budget. However, it is a bit large. It's probably the best bang-for-your-buck amplifier out there, though. It performs better than amps that cost hundreds of dollars.

I would like to know what type of headphones you prefer if its not beats.

Price doesn't matter to me

I listen to hip hop music , R&B anything really

Mainly use for ipod's, phones, and computers.

Any headphones I can wear like beat's and turtle beaches etc.

If they have one's that go in your ear that will work as well.
