Bose headphones are amazing, but I've only tried them at kiosks. They're probably at every best buy for you to try if you're curious, and the sound quality is much better than other headphones I've tried in normal brick and mortar stores.

I listed 200$ as USD, sorry to miscommunicate. I'm willing to spend up to $400 AUD for speakers lol? our dollar is better than you think  buy onlineSaved mountains of money buying music gear from the US, from guitars to effects to amplifiers etc Aussie shops rip you off so much that i could afford to ship the same product back and forth between US and AUS around 5 times before it would be cheaper for me to buy it in Australia. Also half those stores just get whatever they can online just like YOU CAN and put it on shelves... the customer always think that shops have some sort of a magic deal with the supplier, when in reality half the time they dont know the supplier they just sell what they can grab where ever they can grab it. $400 is just below KRK Rockit 5", so i'd probably be looking at some cheaper M-Audio or Alesis alternatives. Hope you dont find my advice off the topic, there is some people here who know alot more about Audio gear than I do, but I'm pretty good at not paying more than I should. Importing means you get slugged by delivery fees and they're considered grey imports so you get no warranty (unless the company specifically mentions international warranty).

Can't you just get the headphones and leave it overnight over a tissue box? If the band is metal, this tends to loosen it up a bit. If its too loose, just bend it back.
I tried stretching them over my computer case overnight a few times and they're still too tight

It's always going to depend on the person too. Some people complain about the srh 840s having a clamping problem, but they're fine for me. I wear them on avg probably 10 hours a day. I always like to try stuff before I buy it if at all possible. I haven't had many good experiences buying stuff blind even after thorough research.

If headphones are too tight, try stretching them over a basketball or armrest for a sofa.

Just wanted to say that the RE-262's highs and especially bass are definitely underwhelming. Even my packaged SGS3 cheap in-ear headphones had a more forward bass and high.... but I just changed my equalizer settings to boost bass and treble (leaving the amazing mids alone), and HOT DAYUM this is amazinggg :3 just unbelievable haha.

I was wondering... what's the headset thatr Apollo used in this video??? that headset looks nice !!!

Get a clip-on mic. Most decent headphones don't come with attached microphones.
A common go-to headphone for bassheads is the Sony XB500. I believe its very affordable too so that's definitely a good thing.

Hey guys, I'm looking for new In-ear headphones. I'm looking for something below 40 British pounds, but I would look at 50 pound ones if they are worth it. 40 pounds is around 60ish dollars. Any recommendations? I'm going to be using them in workouts as well if that's necessary to mention.

I am currently using the Audeo Phonak PFE 121s LINK
I got them when they were 140, now they're 200 >.< But they are REALLY comfortable (because Audeo Phonak makes hearing aids) and the sound quality is amazing.
I also bought the Shure Black Olives (Earbud pieces) and it makes it sound really good too 
Before that I had Audio Technica earbuds, and they were okay and had noise cancelling. But not as good as these PFEs. Also tried my brother's Beats, but the sound quality on my IEMs are much better.

HiFiMan RE0s are very very nice for their price range. They're almost exactly 50 pounds (before VAT or customs or whatnot) and have incredible sound. The highs are particularly good and it's quite accurate, though the bass isn't too strong. Build quality is also quite nice :3

I see, I will consider those then . Anything solid on the 40ish pound range?

I'm looking for something with top-notch audio quality for gaming (mostly SC2 but with occasional FPS games, etc) and with even better microphone quality. I'm going to be streaming and making youtube videos so you can see why mic quality is important.
I've been lurking the forums and from what I can gather "gaming" headsets are not in the realm of superb quality.
So, I'm torn between these two headsets:
Audio-Technica BPHS1
or
Sennheiser PC 350 (If you know of a better Sennheiser headset with better mic quality, let me know.)
I'd really like to get the Audio-Technica BPHS1; I've seen Apollo and other people use it for casting/personal videos and it simply has great mic quality, on par with some USB microphones. The only problem is that it only comes with a XLR (mic) and a 1/4" (audio) cable.
I could get adapters for these cables but I don't know if that would hinder the quality at all. (Would it?) I have no problem going with the Sennheiser PC 350 if that's the case.
What would you recommend? Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm... also Klipsch Image S4s are pretty good for their price. You might be able to find some from 30 to 50 pounds ish. They're also quite well-built and have stronger bass, possibly a bigger soundstage (the music's relative instrument positions is has a wider virtual range, so to speak).

SoundMagci E10's, I can't recommend them enough, got them for 35 dollars, are on par to those in the 60-80 dollar range. Comes very well recommended by head-fi.

What is the logical upgrade from HD650? I"ve loved my mind but looking for something different.
Something still less than 500-600 dollars?

Yes, I have the Image S4 and they're amazing. Great bass, sound quality and noise cancelling. However, I've recently noticed that when they rub against clothing you are able to hear some of that contact on low volume. Nonetheless, I recommend them.
On another note, does anyone have a strong opinion of the new V-Moda Crossfade M-100 headphones??? (Link: M-100). The pre-order is available but I am not sure if I should quite buy them... They look amazing in quality and aesthetics as far as I can tell. However has anyone tried V-Moda's headphones like M-80 or LP2? It seems tough to say no to them because apparently Morgan Page and Nervo use them :D, except for the $310 price tag...
Thanks~

V-Moda should be legit these days. If you need well-isolating supra-aurals that fold (i.e. good portable headphones), you can probably do a lot worse. I'd assume they're not worse than the M-80s, but these assumptions can get you in trouble in audio land. How many times do you see increasing product numbers and prices in a product line, but worse sound?

Any idea of different how?
I think if we were to somehow divorce ourselves from the ideas of pricing and product numbers, and we could somehow view headphones from a neutral perspective, you may not really find anything that would be classified as an upgrade. There should be headphones that do certain things better, but an upgrade? HD 650s have pretty much no narrow FR anomalies, some of the best phase response, some of the least ringing / resonances / unwanted energy storage, pretty low distortion (particularly in frequencies where the ear is more sensitive), etc.
What I mean to say is that you may not find much of a consensus, particularly if you don't know what really you're looking for. Good luck.

Yeah, I generally wasn't aiming toward the looks, but the sound (headphones) . I've looked into those, but I am pretty against having battery-powered headphones just because of the lack of convenience.
