Need help picking something. Sennheiser? (im noob)

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

G'day Head-Fi!

 

It's my birthday soon and i was looking to get a decent headphone.

Im a real rookie to this, so please help me.

 

I was thinking of getting a Sennheiser, because friends have reccomended it, and they sound great.

I'd like to be able to bring it to school, but im a large guy, and i dont mind carrying something bulky.

I'd much rather have something heavy and bulky that isolates good and wont break, that a flimsy piece of ****.

 

Now for the sound:

 

I listen to alot of Death - Metal/Core, so i'll need a bass that kicks ass.

I also listen to lots of Powermetal, wich is a quite high toned sort of music.

I also love classical.

Oh and a ****ton of classic rock is always good.

 

Ive got some examples for you (be sure to turn your sound down when you get to the Deathmetal/core bit)

 

Powermetal: Golden Rescurrection - See my Command, Divinefire - Cryptic Passages

Classical: Edvard Grieg - Morning Mood, Carl Orff - Carmina Burana, Scott Joplin - Magnetic Rag

Classic Rock: Guns 'n Roses - Paradise City, Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird

Deathmetal/core: With Faith or Flames - Heir to the Viking Throne, Murder on the Dancefloor - Reality TV can suck my left nut.

 

I hope this is enough info, and please help.

 

Thank you all so much,

 

- Morgrod.

List your budget, whether you want your headphones to be bassy, treble focused, comfortable, isolating, ect. in order of importance, and your musical preferences, and headphones you've listened to with sounds you liked and disliked.
