So far, I have only had earphones, Sleek-Audio SA1, and a set of RE0.
This will be my first set of full-sized headphones.
A friend let my try out his Grado SR80i, but they sounded a bit too similar to the RE0, in my opinion.
I'm looking for something very musical with fairly tight bass, mids and highs that don't sound muffled, and generally fun to listen to.
At work I have 8 hrs a day I will be spending with these things, so comfort is a factor.
Most of the listening will be with classic rock, rock, acoustic, and a bit of electronic:
Led Zeppelin, ZZ Top, Jet, The Strokes, Iron & Wine, Ratatat, etc.
No preference on open or closed, my co-workers have open headphones and sound leak seems to be negligible.
I have looked into Sennheiser 598 and Grado SR225i, but I'm not sure if either would fit the bill or not.
My budget is $300.
Thanks.
