Sennheiser HD280's will be right up your alley then. Lots of people have 'em and like 'em.

http://www.zzounds.com/item--SENHD280PRO

remember if you buy them from zzounds, to use the link from the OCR store so that OCR gets a small bit of funding as well. that way you're helping the site as you buy.

Awesome. Im ordering a guitar from them soon too, and I will be supporting OCR with all my sales from zzounds. Thanks a bunch.

Now to determine to spend my taxes on my PC im building, or headphones. i should get roughly 400$ in taxes back 350-400. xD. Not sure yet.

Look on eBay for good prices on headphones. I scored my AKG K240s for $85 and I think they sell retail for about $125 last I checked. Most electronics are way cheaper online, and there are a few that would normally be out of your price range but are not!

HA! That's totally true. I had a co-worker hear me talk about her from 3 rooms away at work. Door closed. Scary sh*t!

But really. If you want headphones great for mixing, I imagine keeping the price at LEAST above a hundred. Chances are you'll get awesome quality. I have yet to buy an expensive pair of headphones BUT there arent any 100 dollar headphones with crap quality. ......

ummm...are there?

I recommend Grado SR-60s. Terrific bang for the buck.
