Hey, everyone. First off, I feel like a douchenozzle for posting this type of thread three years ago and never having updated it because I never went through with a purchase. Well, I'm pretty sure my headphones are actually dead now, so I have no choice!
So here's what I have/had:
-Bose AE2 headphones (r.i.p.)
-FiiO E6 Amp
-Less than $200 to spend
So whatever I get should be at least one step forward from that. I'm looking for a closed-ear pair so I don't have to deal with all the noise wherever I am, especially since I'm out walking a lot. I see a lot of reviews for many headphones saying how weak they are in the bass department, and I'm not a basshead or anything, but a pair with respectable amount of bass (at least after using the amp) would be nice. I feel it's redundant to say how I'd like the whole thing to be perfect like good soundstage, clarity, crisp highs and warm lows, etc. etc. but I'm an audiophile, so all these things stand out for me. And of course, the price range affects it.
My main uses are:
-Music in-doors and out through my iPod Classic.
-Music/audio recording and composing on my laptop at home.
Genres
-Anything, but mostly every genre of rock/metal from every decade and getting into electronic and hip-hop.
Headphones I'm looking at now include:
-AKG K 240
-AKG K 240 MKII
-Sennheiser HD280PRO
-Sony MDR7506 Professional
If any of you brofessors could help me out, I'd much appreciate it. And of course I'll definitely be on top of it this time. Not sure what happened lol.
