I am coming to Kolkata next week, and I would like to buy a good headphone for under 4k. The headphones will be used primarily for listening to music, and some occasional gaming. I mostly listen to Rock, Electronic and Classical music. And I don't consider myself a bass head (although a little extra oomph doesnt hurt!)

So ppl, which headphone do you suggest I buy? Also, could you mention some good shops in Kolkata for buying headphones?

@ricky641b : He is asking for headphones and you have mentioned inears :).
The reason for not a single reply is that there are many similar threads out there. I think if bass is not an issue the Audio Technica's AD500 will do fine for you if need bass go for M35 or T500

they are called in-ear monitors actually , i simply refer to them mas IEM'S on earphones , yeah but the terminologies are very confusing . I am not too sure but classifications are In ear monitors/earphones , Open-type Headphones , Closed-type headphones , Supra Aural etc. But again i maybe wrong :)
