    I finally decided I'm going to pick up a pair of good headphones.

    I want something that sounds great yet looks stylish. My budget is $50-$60. I want over the head headphones NOT EARBUDS! I can not buy online only in store, some stores I have access to are ( best buy, j&r, kmart, radio shack, staples, target, walmart

    I mostly plan on using these to play my Nintendo 3DS and to listen to music on the side.

    Two I've been looking at are:

    Sennheiser HD419

    Go for the Sennheiser.

    Have you considered Bose? They are AMAZING over the ear head phones, too!

    I looked up bows on a few websites and they all seem to be over my budget.

    Bose products are actually a little overpriced. Not as overpriced as Beats, but still over priced.

    I would make some recommendations, but I don't have any headphones (over ears) in that price range.

    "No highs, no lows, must be Bose."

    Never been particularly happy with Bose, personally.

    Sennheiser is a good brand, generally. I agree with Tinyman, though, that you could get significantly better quality if you only raised your budget $20-40.

    I've got HD DJ Headphones from Sennheiser HD 205 Model and they're great to listen to your Music in HD quality and I use these to Pre-cue the next music on Djay 4.

    Plus Sennhesier updated the 205 as HD 205 II now but it's the same Headphones with the Right cup that swivels either left or right for one ear pre-cueing for Djay Apps like Djay 4

    Look for a Guitar Center near you cause they may Sell Sennhesier Headphones and be sure to goto Sennhesier's scam page to insure the one you're buying isn't a fake.

    You should check out Motorola. It is a great bluetooth headset. I am not sure on the price but you should be able to find a pair in your price range.
