I used to youtube-surf for my music, but I've decided to buy most of the music off of amazon, and want a decent pair of headphones to go with them. I'm by no means an audiophile, but I am a cellist, and know how to appreciate good sound.
Examples of what I listen to (top couple songs on playlist)
Andrea Bocelli - Con te partire(time to say goodbye) -
Colbie Caillat - "Bubbly"
Norah Jones - "what am I to you"
Hinder - "lips of an angel"
Yo-yo ma - Ennio Morricone(cockeye's song from once upon a in america)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Snow(Hey-oh)
So a bit of everything, but I don't find the need to turn up the volume and bass for the crazy screamo, european techno whatnots..
Clean cut sound and decent soundstage for around the $60 range, willing to go up to maybe $130 or so.
And comfort is a must.. I'm willing to sacrifice a little sound for comfort...
I'm used to using ipod earbuds & $20 logitech speakers, so I think anything would be an improvement.
What do yu think about the
K 81's?
Or how about the A(D)700's from audio-technica.. (if I can get over how stupid i'll look wearing that)
