Old Headphone that I just broke
All in all, this headphone gave me what I was looking for.
It had great noise cancellation, everytime my dad came distract me and talk random things I couldnt hear him at all (althought that was only when I had my volume high, otherwise I could still hear him, bleh ;P)
They were not confortable using for long periods, my ears got very hot, starts to press almost seeming like burning the top of my head, but even so, confort is not a priority and I could live just fine with that. It wasnt as unbreakable as I needed it to be, clearly ;P
When I had to go back to my old sennheiser HD 201, it was weird that the same song just literally felt like a different song. Also could notice how much detail the SHURE had overall, althought bass (is that it?!) didnt felt right in them, seemed better on the HD 201, at least for me..
The ****ty thing about the HD 201 was that it seemed like the max volume was 30% of what SHURE's were, I was like What does this have to do with headphone ?!

So all in all this is what I'm looking for:
I will use them while I work. I work from home, and I have adhd, so even the slightest things distract me. I'm looking to mostly block completly other people's talking sound, amongst other things.
So basically all around geared towards listening eletronic music, as I'm looking to get more into DnB, Techno, Dance, House Music. And one of my fav genres is raping the replay button on any type of movie/anime original soundtrack.
Hard to break, close to undamageble wires (at least the best possible). Because I'm very clumsy and find ways to break everything. Would be good if the wire was quite lengthy (not sure if using 2euros extension can diminish quality, which is what im using) or being usb input or something.
Was looking towards fiio e17, but since I dont need them to be portable maybe there are better choices, looking advice here too (and how it should match your recommended headphones). so it would be good to get headphones that are gonna get an improved quality with an dac and amp
[*] No need of being portable, using it at home.
When trying to do a bit of research (and looking at http://www.head-fi.org/a/headphone-buying-guide ), I came up with the following ideas
Since I'm looking for people's talking noise isolation type, its much better to go for
IEM's (right?), also nice that they would be more confortable to wear during long hours/hard to break (althought I'd be worried about wires).
But its hard to think of IEM's as a huge sound quality (proobs me being a noob), so I was thinking of also getting Open headphones for amazing sound quality and best usage with DAC/AMP.
So two choices would be:
Getting a Budget/Entry Level Headphones IEM's, getting Fiio E17 (or something else ) either right away or not long after (depending on cost of IEM's), and then more close to Christmas (I heard they start dropping price a bunch for headphones on that season, correct?) getting an [UPPER?] Mid-Range Open Headphones focusing on amazing quality to get eargasms ;P (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fischer-Audio-Headphone-Multifunction-Microphone/dp/B008QUGT9C/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top ?)
Other option would be IEM's taking care of all my needs (or an Closed Headphone), so getting right away a Mid-Range ones (up to 300$) and maybe get an amp close to Christmas
Got Advice?
