Earphones/Headphones around 2000/- (ASAP)

[Shreya16]

Hi I am totally clueless about all this and need advice asap..also, I want to order online so please suggest something which is available online, I can extend my budget up till 2500.
can somebody please suggest me Earphones or Headphones(preferably) that would provide me with

1. Awesome voice quality
2. Great Bass
3. Durability
4. Comfort
5. Long life

I mostly listen to music on my Xperia (Sola) phone or on my laptop and my favorite genres are hip hop, soft rock, rock and guitar based music.
Also, what would be better headphones or in-ear earphones?

Thankyou in advance

the music genres you listen to do not require great bass... Bass is a necessity only for electronic genres like trance, dubstep, etc. If you are looking at good in ear earphones then brainwavz m1 should be good enough for you (guitar effects)... you can get it from BRAINWAVZ M1 IEM Earphones + Fedex 2 Day To Select Destinations - BRAINWAVZ. There are no head/earphones that will last a lifetime... all depends on your luck and how well you take care of it...

Thankyou so much for the information.
Could you also help me out with this final query, I was also considering these two models and I frequently listen to dubstep as well so should I still stick to the Brainwavz model or try out these ones? And in this case what is the difference between the headphones and the earphones?
MDR-XB400
MDR- XB30EX

if portability is not an issue and if you listen to dubstep as well then you can get the MDR-XB400... it will have a slight edge over the xb30's due to its large drivers... but if you need more balanced sound and if you listen to dubstep occasionally then get the brainwavz
