Good headphones for $200 or less?
I'm not an audiophile so it won't take too much to wow me; I just need some headphones with good bass and noise isolation to listen to music on my laptop mainly rap/hip-hop.
You guys are just joking with the beats recommendations..right?
I was thinking about getting the M50s but would the WS70 be better for a bass head?

You should checkout the Logitech UE 6000, these cost around $200 at Amazon
Here's a review on them

Also checkout the Audio Technica ATH WS70, on one site they were $100, but on the other sites they were around $130

I won't recommend Beats or Bose. They cost a lot and don't offer value for money.
Seeing your needs, you don't really need to spend $200
Audio Technica M50 are one of the best professional grade headphones in this price range at $160.
Sennheiser HD 380 Pro, Shure SRH440s, Denon AH-D310R are some other options.
Sennheiser HD 280 Pro cost $100 and provide good isolation, decent bass and crystal clear sound along with rugged built and comfort. I will recommend them to anyone.

You didn't mention you were a bass head. Trust me, too much bass overpowers everything else and will affect overall music clarity. You will have to be really careful.
WS70 are good too. However, they are not very comfortable. I recommended headphones keeping everything in head. Even if you love bass HD280 PRO are good. They have decent bass. Why spend more money on useless things just because you can? You will not be able to enjoy movies and other stuff without tweaking equalizer.

If REAL quality is an issue, you should stick to REPUTABLE brands only such as B&W, Sennheiser (most affordable), Shure, Grado, Denon, AKG, Audio-Technica (NOT to be mixed with Technic which is utter rubbish as well!), Etymotic or Beyerdynamic. Things like V-Moda, Klipsch, Sony, Panasonic, JVC and Philips are ONLY "okay-ish" indeed. Please do NOT fall a victim to FASHION ACCESSORIES by buying Boombox, Ministry of Sound, Sol/Republic/Revolution, Noontec Zoro's, Benetton, a-jays, iFrogz, Marley, Fanny Wang, Razer, Karl Kani, WESC, Turtle, JH, Dr.Dre/Beats/Solo, Ludacris/Soul, Koss, Skullcandy, Lady GaGa, Skullcrushers, Monsters nor Bose, because they are ALL seriously overhyped and overpriced "fashion blingbling gimmicks" with a very poor durability and sound quality, NOTHING else (and those who try to claim they are good do NOT know ANYTHING about QUALITY anyway!), BE THEM FAKE OR NOT!
Also, please do NOT focus on the thumping bass that just distorts everything else, instead go for GOOD audio quality IN GENERAL.
