Recently i have decided to buy i decent pair of headphones because the ones i have now are absolute crap. I'll try not to make this one of those "what are the best head phones for $100" threads but no promises. Ive done very little research and havent tried any on. All ive really learned is that dre's are absolute garbage for the money. Im looking for an good pair of closed cans but again im no audiophyle and my only sources are an ipod, and mac book pro. my brother has a pair of ATH M-50's and loves them but claims the long cord can often be a hassle. These are the headphones that im deciding between. If there is a better option that i simply missed please tell me. also im not trying to have to buy amps and stuff so lets keep it simple.
1) ATH M-50's
2) Ultrasone dj1 pro (these look sick but are they worth the extra money)
3) Beyerdynamic Djx1
4) ATH-PRO700 SV
Also i does it make a difference if the headphones are dj or studio. Really all im looking for is something that will block out the background noise, and is comfortable to wear for a long period of time. And again if i missed anything worth looking at please tell me. Budget $100-$200 (preferably 100 but if its going to make a big difference id rather just invest in something good).
If there's one thing you'll learn here is that one man's holy grail is another man's trash. The M-50 is a highly recommended phone here in your price range, and if you enjoyed what you heard, I see no reason not to pick one up.
