So basically you are looking for the perfect headphone for under $300.

My favorite for the 200-300 dollar range.

Q701 seconded. Fantastic can! Needs an amp though to truly sound great. It's like $230 on Amazon. Pick up a pair, play pink noise through it for 80 hours while you work or w/e. plug it in, and you will not be disappointed. They have great soundstage, and feel very intimate. I'm personally waiting for my Little Dot MKiii to come to really bring these to the next level smily_headphones1.gif . Can't go wrong with the Q701.

Also, the K167/267 are fantastic. Great closed cans, feel pretty open actually, with great isolation. Definitely a great can for the price, at 199/299 respectively, Id say the K167 is a great bargain.

I'm going to throw a curveball at the group and suggest you take a look at the AKG 271mkII.

Let it go or take a swing, I could care less

I'm a minor too, 16 here haha. But you have to pick, because, as I posted in a similar threw, there is no best headphone, it's best for you. Hell, beats are best for my friends, and that's fine. I don't agree, but to them, they like it, and that's what matters. You might really hate the Q701, or the K240 MKii, or the K167, or the DT880, who knows? If you pick one, you can be sure you will be happy,as most cans recommended on these forums are generally (generally) a good price/performance ratio. So it's up to you to pick from the pool of headphones recommended to you, because if you pick one, you will be happy.

For example, I picked up some Hd 555 a month ago. Boy, was I thrilled. Different sound from my Q's, I loved the difference. Turns out, that sound really wasn't for me, so I sold em, lost $5, but I enjoyed my time with them, and that's worth it to me.

So whatever you pick, I'm sure you will be more than happy with it smily_headphones1.gif
