Best headphones for under $200

Dec 18, 2010 12:28AM PST

I'm looking to buy a really good set of headphones. So far, I really have no idea, other than that I've tried out the Monster Beats solo HD (NOT the old, easily breakable solos) at Best Buy and was fairly impressed by the way they sound. I listen to all types of music, everything from classical to heavy metal, so I like bass, but I don't want it to be overpowering. I want fairly balanced sound, though I do know how to turn the equalizer on, so if they are off a little I can fix it. Oh yeah, and they have to be under $200. Any thoughts?
