Guys, i bought a TV recently with the suggestions given by the members of this forum, and it was a huge success.It seems tht i can depend on u guys for deciding tech stuff..thank u!

I need a good over-ear/cans/full head gear for a budget of 2k..I will be using it with a Sony Walkman E363.

I listen to Electronic/Dubstep/House, Alternate Rock,some Pop and Rap, along with some regional music.

I know tht i cant expect THE best for 2k, but help me!

need suggestions alongside
Sennheiser HD 438 , HD 202ii ; ATH M20 ; Sony MDR v150

PS : newbie here
:-D

I tested HD 202 (not sure if it was II), but I didn't like it, bass was too week. I also tested 205, that too was not good. Finally settled for Denon AH-D310 for 3K.

^^ Its good enough.. still requires lot of burn-in. about 10 hrs till now. I liked it more than the Sennheiser models in 2-3K range.
