Yep. As far as sound quality goes you always get more bang for your buck with the bigger over-the-ear phones than with buds or smaller on-ear ones.

QFT [annoyed with the constant quoting already?:P]
My HD201 work just like on day 1, and they were the cheapest Senn's, i think. Use them everyday for over 5 years. Great quality, AMAZING durability, they used to fall to the ground twice a day, now i have a hook for them, but they still fall sometimes, and NOTHING broke. I've also mishandled the cable a lot, pulling the phones, as the cable got stuck somewhere. That usually ends up with the cable being torn out of the phones, and these headphones just don't do that.

[edit]
Oh, i also use Senns earbuds, currently using MX360, but i find them lacking, and surprisingly, they don't like metal a lot, and started buzzing a bit. The earlier model, the MX350 was much more durable, even survived two baths in hot tea.

Hehe, given how much I downplayed my own opinion, I must admit I'm quite astonished at the sheer number of quotes it is getting ;-)

There are so many different Sennheiser models that it's vague enough to apply to half the people who have ever owned headphones. :D

So now that I have the pair I want in mind, where would you recommend picking them up from? Besides Amazon.com.

I've been reading some reviews on these and while they sound great is the bass really lacking on them?

I'm trying to find a decent headset for both games and movies and while I want a great sound stage/5.1 style setup so I can tell where different sounds are coming from I also want good bass for explosions in the games and movies.

Looking for headphones, im reading good things about Sennheiser

so im looking at the Sennheiser CX 400II or the Sennheiser OMX 95 VC Style II.

What are they like?

Also what about Monster Cable Beats by Dr.Dre? or the Headfunk Badass buds?

any others I should look at?

I really love my AKG K240 Studio and the wide sound I get from them. It's crystalclear and things really sound like they happen around you. The only bad thing about the open design is that people around will probably will hear your sound and they aren't noise-cancelling at all.

You can get an used pair really cheap at times and I can tell you that the K240 would survive a nuclear-attack even though they are made of plastic.

Got myself Sennheiser EH 350 just a while (Literally, about 2 hours) ago :P

Loving their sound, at least on the music I listen to its amazing (I've heard this particular model sucks at rock music, but I tend to go on quieter things :P)

I saw the price of the Beats but I can get a pair at trade (£18 plus a bit for P&P)

Ill have a look at the EH350 and AKG K240 though, thanking all three of you who replied

I think it depends on every headphones though. For my Sony MDR-V6 after hours of playing it just getting better and better with balanced everything. But I also own a Superlux that has rough but amazing bass that gave me goosebumps. However after the break in the bass lost its luster and roughness even though it's still dominant.

Sennheiser's are my go to brand of headphones. They can be a bit on the pricey side of things, but I have a wired set, wireless set, and in ear set. Plan to a set of their Noise Canceling over the ears with BT, but that is in the dream stage right now since they are around $400.

Edit: Oh, necro thread.

I know it's an old thread but I feel I need to add something here. So I'm here to talk about my Sony MDR-V6. I say for the 100-130 dollars price range this headphone is amazing. I think I my preference came from the balance of this headphone. It's not relying too much on bass like Porta pro or my recent Superlux or vocal like my ATH-EM7. Also I heard someone own his MDR-V6 for 25 years and it never fail him. Except for the earpads, but you can always replace it easily.

My favorite pair of headphones are my Grado SR60i's. They are open-ear, so they aren't ideal for public use or use on commutes, and they don't have a mic or 7.1 or other things you may want specifically for gaming. For gaming, I use Plantronics Gamecom 780's, which aren't too bad, nice and isolating with good 7.1, but as I compare the sound of all headphones to the Grado's now, it's hard for me to recommend anything else. The Gamecom 780's are my first gaming headphones, so it's a new territory for me, and one I haven't researched.

I second Blarg's suggestion to check out head-fi.org and do a little research. That place is a gold mine of information for audiophiles.
