What's up people,
I came across this forum earlier when I was on the computer googling up what was the deal with this trend of buying dre beat headphones; clearly just marketing as I thought. It looked like this place was full of informative experienced audiophiles. So I'll try to make my post short and sweet in terms of what I am looking for in my pursuit of a over the ear headphones to purchase.
I am a computer engineer major so I have alot of knowledge of frequency responses of all kinds and just audio circuitry and devices in general. I hope to "sound engineer" if that the term, my own subwoofer one day. I love bass heavy music because I am a dubstep basehead by heart. No, not a wanna-be I have been listening to dubstep wayyyyyyy before this skrillex craze happened, the days when rusko, caspa, benga, tc, plastican were banging the beats.
I am looking for over the ear head phones that have great bass response meaning a great response to low frequency sounds but a nice surround sound feel to it as well. I am looking for something durable because sadly, I have never owned a decent pair of headphones only the cheaply made ear-bud headphones that can be purchased at walmart. I am looking for over head phones that can be considered to be very durable; considering such things like quality wiring material and such because I am tired of these cruddy ear-bud headphones short circuiting every few months at the 3.5mm audio jack connector. Yeah, sure I can go purchase a solid audio connector male end at radio shack or something and attempt some soldering but that is a pain in the arse because I have tried. My budget would have to be around the $100 mark preferably less as I am a poor college student. That's about it. Thanks for your time to anyone responds
