I want to buy headphones for me to use in my iphone which I can carry around a lot. I also want a comfortable headphone that doesn't hurt after some time of use (I find beats studio very uncomfortable since they hurt after about an hour of use), good sound quality, closed so that other people cant hear what Im hearing, and overall durability since I carry it around a lot. The sennheiser pxc 450 looked like the best option since they are portable, foldable, come with a case, are comfortable, and have a good noise cancellation (I dont know if they are closed or open). However, they are a bit pricey ($350). My other alternative would be the Audio- technica MTH-M50 which is cheaper. Which one is best for me? (comfort, closed, durability/portability, sound quality) What are the differences? If the pxc 450 is better according to my needs, is it worth the higher price?
