went with these
I wanted the best value because I don't have a lot of disposable income rn, when I get a job after graduation I'll try and invest in a high end pair

RHA T20's with my HTC 10 is perfect, I can't see myself every going back to cheaper non-IEM staples earbuds, I had to a month or two ago and it was hell (no more expensive than this either, no interest in being an audiophile), Shure's are good too, might go back to them next time I get a new pair.
Edit: Though I'll probably stay with the RHA's because of the bass.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
there's the 681 Evo which is newer and a bit more balanced, and then the older 681 and 681B (which might be a bit bassier) all of them have HD as a part of the model. If just want something super bassy there are definitely better models to go with even at this cheap range.
Those are decent but both this model and the 681 suffer from some very troublesome treble peaks so if you're sensitive to sibilance beware.
Remembering Ryan Hemworth's FACT Mix from Oct 2012. So many video game samples..

Tomorrow, 2 new Big Boi singles dropping for his new project "The Big Boom Theory".
First one is called "Mic Jack" with Adam Levine, and the second is "Kill Jill" with Killer Mike and Jeezy.

Big fucking ups
Nicki Minaj, Drake, Lil Wayne - No Frauds video. The shots at Remy hit a bit harder upon relistening, but it's kind of wack otherwise.
wow thugger really is the future of this music shit
You only noticed now?
Hip Hop mainly with electronic (trance, electro house, house, trap, dubstep) on the side
Put a lot of value on lows and mids
dont care about highs too much, as long as they're serviceable and there's no high pitched out of place sounds I'm good.
If I'm getting into specifics the only time I care about highs are on tracks where vocals become a part of the melody and play a big role in the production, like Thugger's tracks. For lows bass is obviously an important factor, but hearing all ambiet sounds in the background as well are a big factor for me as well.
I know you're being sarcastic lol, but I've been very fickle with headphones buying and selling pairs just out of sheer curiosity over the years I never have had more than three pair of full sized ones at a time though I have quite a bit more lower cost IEMs I've managed not to break many of them over the years even ones with supposed build quality issues.
Oh yeah and I'm irresponsible and terrible with money
I have similar tastes
On a strict budget I'd opt for the JVC HA-S500
If you can spare a bit more than I'd look into the Creative Aurvana Live
Higher end something like the EMU Teaks or Blue Lola, Audio Technica MSR7, and ADL H118 would be perfect in order of closest to that signature. If you're willing to go with an open headphone the Sennheiser HD6XX are a supposed ridiculous value and if they sound anything like the HD650 they're a steal at their price.
Edit: Forgot about the Sennheiser Momentum 2 those are great too

The amount of knowledge Des hss on headphones alwats impresses me (I don't mean that in a condescending or disparaging way).
Des, any full size headphone recommendations for $100-$300 CAD? For hip hop. I own HD598 and brainwavz HM5 but I find the bass pretty lacking for hip hop. I have a FiiO e10k too.
I've been considering M50s tbh, because I'm thinking they're better suited for hip hop and I could wear them outside too since they're closed.

Looks like the song got taken down; does Thugga have a new project coming out
Nooooo come back!

Believe so, the description for the "Safe" music video implies it's called "I Will Never Quit."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiO_P9nyQjo
Or just google it; it's on a bunch of youtube channels but might get taken down.
torre: Cool; I like the sound of feel it.
OH MY GOOOOOOOOD
I think the beat drop just made me cum.
Yeah definitely get some worth it vibes. Between this track and Safe I'm really looking forward to this next project, whatever it is. This fucking guy keeps evolving every time it's crazy. Melodic thugger is best thugger.
Always down for more Big Boi. VLDR had some really good songs on it.

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Des, are there any earphones you'd recommend from this selection?
I like to buy from John Lewis because their replacement policy is super generous, and I destroy earphones constantly.
Hip-hop friendly bass and a wide soundstage are my priorities.

I'm also glad that people here are understanding that Hip-Hop production is intricate, and as a result headphones that just give you booming bass is not sufficient.
I'm not a fan of the original M50s but supposedly the M50x have improved on the signature never tried them.
I'd suggest the V-Moda M100 maybe they definitely have bass. ADL H118 are nice too but not as visceral with the thump, sporting more of a nice warmness to them.
Sennheiser momentum 2.0 the wired version, oh you wanted earphones? Haven't tried the earphone version but love the sound signature of the over ear maybe check em out

"hello?" "this is vagina"
Yeah, I'm stuck with Apple ones at the moment and it's killing me.
Production is very solid and he integrates his singing/crooning well into the beat
only a couple of memorable lines though
I feel like the middle of the song is weaker than the beginning and ending
still a good track regardless
