As someone suggested earlier the best thing to do is go somewhere and
listen to a few sets. Not knowing where you're located I cannot give
suggestions on that, but here in California we have a few places like
Guitar Center where you can usually listen to a few different sets
before buying.

In my mind this is a no-brainer because you NEED to eventually have 3
or 4 sets, they will all sound different and you'll only figure out
which ones *you* really like by listening to a lot of material over
long periods of time. If you see the logic of buying 3 sets over the
next 18 months, then pick any one of them today and go enjoy. I think
for bass practice the 7506's are going to work out great, but they
aren't the perfect set of headphones. Surprise - none will be perfect
even at 500 euros, much less 50, but every one suggested is probably
worth owning over time.

Just my 2 euros, ;-)
