Guys how is A4tech HU-510 ?
any other which i can get in the budget of 2k

Sony piiq @ 2000

Depends. What do you guys want them for? I'd say go for Koss KSC-75, but that really depends on your preferences.

i think the best headphones in the market at 2k would be the Sony PIIQ...and beats are seriously not worth the money spent as previously stated by several others.

And nah, the PIIQs aren't that good. They're more style, less substance. The Koss cans I mentioned above are waaay better than them and cheaper too. And with a better warranty.

I'm current on a pair of JVC HA-S700. These were bought for 2.4k from a guy on PG.
I used Bose Triports before this and these are almost the same, except the Triports get way louder.

Yea, probably cause the Triports have a low impedance, so they can be powered better by your player.

Getting a few skullcandy's, Senheissers and 2-3 JVC's coming in. Personal collection

I'd say drop the Skullcandys. Not worth it.

As im planning to buy the new iPod Touch 5G

My suggestion would be to go for the Cowon J3. Waaaaay better. Or if you dont want touch, then get one of the Sony Walkman. Trust me, iPods aint got nothing over them.

I own "Bose QuietComfort 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones", they are expensive but the sound quality, specially base is just superb. Sennheiser CX 400 II is also good, one of my mate owns it and It's good in the offered price range.

I am looking to purchase headphones in the near future along with a Xonar DG (Specifically for the Amp). Which headphones would you recommend which fill this criteria:

1) Max Upto $250
2) Heavy Bass
3) Sturdy. (My only beef against Bose headphones).
4) Closed would be preferred but open can be considered.

Sennheiser HD 25-1 II. You can get them for 195 bucks on amazon.
But what do you want them for? What will be your main usage for them? What genres do you listen to the most?

Music, movies and games. I listen to a very diverse collection of music so no one genre applies.

How does it compare with HD598 ?That one is also for $191. or the PC-360?

I am looking for Sth bigger and portability is not a concern.

HD598 has had quality control issues with the plastic breaking. There was a Audio Technica model for around 160$ which was pretty good but forgot its model

Used a pair of Sennheiser HD555 cans for a couple of years before they cracked and broke near one of the ear cans. Upgraded to HD595 and they sufferred the same fate, except faster ;/. Did some research and got hold of a pair of beyer dynamic dt770 premiums which totally blow the hd555/595 out of the water! (rejected dt880 because they are neutral, dt990 because the treble is too over pronounced for my taste).

The next step is getting an amp, saving up money to buy something decent.
