I am in the market for Over-the-Ear headphones, they do not have to be noise canceling, but that would be a plus.
I recently had the Beat Studios, but they were very low quality, with sound leakage so I returned them.

I listen to mostly Rap, Hip Hop and R&B, so I am looking for a headphones with nice BASS/BASE..

I narrowed down my search to:

1. http://www.amazon.com/Sen...Headphones/dp/B0001FTVDQ

2. http://www.amazon.com/Sen...-Headphone/dp/B0001FTVE0

3. http://www.amazon.com/Tec...id=1303507373&sr=8-1

Prefer to purchase on Amazon.

Budget is around $150.

The first two headphones you posted are open.. so they'll leak sound.
I'd recommend a pair of Audio Technica ath-m50

Hmm, I may have to look into those M-50s.

I already own the AD700, but sometimes I wished I had closed ear cans.

Closed headphones (m50s) have less sound leakage compared with open headphones.  
but if your listening to your iPod at full volume in a library, i'm sure others will be able to hear it

Out of the 3 I have in the original post, and the m50 suggested..

1. Which one would you guys go for?
2. Anyone actually own any of the 4?
3. How is the base/bass?
4. I know the first 3 have sound leakage, because its "open form", but how is the leakage in the "closed form" m50s?

Exactly. How loud do y'all play your music?

Had M50s for over 6 months now... couldn't be happier.
