Bass response an balance don't play together well on small speakers. The reason people like the way headphones like beats and such sound is because of a huge boost in the low range that is essentially faking lower frequencies on your headphone speakers.

Your best best with headphone is a $50 pair of akgs unless you want to go up to the higher priced sennheisers, but it kind of depends on what you need/are using them for. I think beyerdynamic makes some pretty good headsets as well.
