I was probably thinking of some other headphones when I said there might be fake X10s. Not really sure what I was thinking of, oops.

I have a budget of $130. I typically listen to music on my iPhone and on my stereo system that hooks up to my PC. I use the fat plug on the stereo to be able to. I usually listen to a wide variety of songs but typically ones with high bass. I also want to be able to use them so that I can hear surroundings well like lets say gunshots and be able to pinpoint their direction. Also, I prefer something with a nice design so i can be able to use them when I'm out and not look completely ugly. Around the ear noise isolating headphones are what I am used to. Plus rep if you help me out. Oh, and this is what will make it hurt. They have to be from Best Buy. I have a gift card with them and that's the only way. :|

If you can in any way add $20 to your budget, the Philips Citiscape Uptown would be absolutely perfect for you. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

The Koss PRODJ100 wouldn't be a bad option for you either, but don't look as cool: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If you don't mind on-ears, the AKG K181 would be the best option since they're incredibly bassy: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I was looking around and saw some Sennheiser HD 518s. What do you think about those? I know they are meant for studios but that is what I'll be primarily using them on anyway.

The 518 is pretty good and probably the best you'll get out of most Best Buys. Not sure what else is there, though. If you're after a ton of bass, they're not for you, but for monitoring or production, they're good. They also benefit from an amp if you want to add one. A Fiio E11 is a good match for these.

I think you'd benefit a lot from selling the gift card and ordering other headphones online. If that's a possibility, I'd recommend you do that. You'll be able to get something that's exactly what you want instead of settling just on what they have.

I found sites that buy them but I'll be getting 110 out of my 140 total due to fees. I'm not looking for super bass headphones just good ones that are beyond some others.

I just checked Ebay and it looks like you'd only lose ~10 bucks there. It's your choice, though. The 518 is not bad at all, but it just doesn't sound like it's what you're looking for.

Can I get an opinion on this pair of in ears?

I've actually never heard anything about these. They have Audio Technica pedigree, but they're in the same price range as the Fischer Audio Eterna. I'd get the Eterna instead.

You want the revision 1 instead of the 2.
