I am getting new headphones and could really need some advice on one .

 

Well to start of i need headphones that are over the ear , and have a really good noise blocking both ways .

I listen to all types of music , but i would love to get a little more bass , but not so that would blow my head ^^ .

Headphones will be connected to my PC .

Currently I own Logitech's G930 headset , and i never owned a pair of quality headphones so i dont know how good are these G930s. I assume they are bad ^^ .

My budget is max 170$ .

 

Thank you in advance .

They were ok because I had never really put anything of value on my ears, but after having tried so many other things in the last several month, I can safely say there is no amount of money they are worth and it seems like the number of negative reviews for them validates this. Just remove them from your list and save your time.

KRK KNS8400

NVX Audio XPT100

Senn HD-280 pro

Shure HR440

Beyer Custom One Pro

Sound magic HP100

 

I was leaning towards the Beyer's, but the lack of folding and having to purchase a case have me uncertain. Otherwise they sound like somethign I would like. I carry a leather laptop bag/briefcase and like to be able to tuck headphones in an outer zippered area (full size about 10*12*1" but being flexible can expand several inches if an item is not thick and wide). Sound Magic are in running but I'm not familiar with brand and not sure I want to spend 199 on someting I'm unfamiliar with. KRK sounds like they have good isolation and sound and may be a good fit. All opinions are appreciated. Looking for recommendations as well as quality and "bang for the buck" ratings on these.

 

I live out on the Cape and have not found a store with a good selection to try. Makes me nervous as this is a big purchase for me.

i have been looking at headphones i want to get for myself as a preset for myself. My main issues are soundquality, comfort and portability. I also care about how the headphones look because i have a really small head. Listen to mostly trance, r &b and hiphop. Looking to spend around 150 if possible Have been mainly looking at 

 

1. ATH m50 

2. Ultrasone hfi 580

 

I think my ideal headphones would be the vmoda m100 but it is way out of price range. Is a lower price similar headphone?

However, I find their mids to be somewhat lacking, and I would most definitely want to see improvements to the clarity/transparency of the sound. So I am turning to the fine Head-Fi folks for some advice.

I generally listen to soft rock, pop, classical, and different ballroom dancing music. In some ways, I am looking for a supercharged version of my HD 555, but with improvements to various aspects, esp some stronger mids and better clarity. I have fallen in love with both the Sennheiser HD 700 and HD 800 (esp the HD 800) after a brief encounter, but in the forseeable future (of 6-12+ months), they remain totally out of reach. So I am looking for some suggestions on how I should go about improving my audio experiences.

1) Is there something in the $200 - $500 range that I can look at for the short term?

2) Is there something in the $500 - $1500 range that I should keep drooling over as I save up my pennies? (Never mind that they are actually being taken out of circulation here in Canucksville now...)

3) Should I just suck it up and start saving for the HD 800 once and for all?

All suggestions would be very much welcomed.

The first one is either a Audio Technica ATH-AD1000 or 2000.
