Hi there, so ive been a huge music fan whether it be dnb,jazz,rap,r&b etc.  now up until this point ive been contempt with using ear buds but ive ran into some problems with them where  I would drop my mp3 player in the earbud would scratch the inside of my ear.  to make a long story short  I hate using earbuds now and I would like to get a pair of over ear headphones in the 100-200 dollar range including a filo amp. so far ive read reviews about the ath m-50 from audio technica and the akg271. they are both great headphones from what i hear but I want something thats comfortable with great quality sound wise and handles sound leakage very well.  also is it normal to wear over ear headphones(studio) outside because  I plan on wearing these 24/7.  thanks for reading my chunk of text  i'd take any assistance i can get towards finding good headphones.

If you're looking for bigger bass and soundstage, try researching the Beyerdynamic DT770 or Ultrasone HFI580.

 

I usually don't wear headphones outside. I use earbuds for that. All of the headphones we mention here are pretty big and aren't that portable. But whenever I'm home I wear my headphones like all the time.

 

There are people who wear headphones outside, but you will stand out a bit.

I dont mind the look at all.  sound wise  I would like a bit of base but I would like it to have a clean sound to it too. if it makes sense like some sort of clarity to it not just bass like the dre beat headphones.also for the Beyerdynamic DT 770-PRO would the filo e6/e11 be enough to power them?

The best headphones under $100 are Sony ZX700, Creative Aurvana Live, Grado SR60, Fostex T50RP, Audio Technica AD700, etc.

 

For clip-on, Yuin G2A? For IEM, Ultimate Ears UE700.

 

 

Will these be for portable use? Then you are better off with a Sansa Clip+, Clip Zip, or Teclast X19HD than anything else.

would the filo e 11 be suffice?  and did they do the filo amps in order because the filo 7 cost more than the 11 and  I thought the older the amp the cheaper it would be.
