I would definitely go with the KRK's with your budget. I own Rokit 8 studio monitors, and I've had them since 2006. They''re products last a lifetime. Not that stylish but worth every penny. JmZ and Phamous would also know about a good set of phones. I been recording music all my life but they're music critics also. If not the KRK's, the HE-500's

Rick Reviewed by Rick on . Good headphones under $200. What are your guy's suggestions of a good pair of headphones under $200? I'm looking for performance along with a somewhat stylish pair. I listen to basically everything with more of an emphasis on rap. I'm trying my best not to shell out money for Dre Beats just because most have said that it is overpriced for what you're getting and that they are not very durable. Thanks in advance! -stylesp Rating: 5
