I recently purchased the Sennheiser G4ME ONE for my XBOX ONE and I love everything about it for gaming! No complaints. I also use my Xbox to listen to music, watch movies, and mess around on Youtube. With that said, I have had such an amazing listening experience in all of those categories, thanks to my awesome headset, that my "awesome" in ear headphones suck now. Thanks to Sennheiser my ears are spoiled, and everything that used to sound good to me doesn't sound good anymore. I'm not mad about it, but now I'm in the market for headphones again, and I don't know where to start.
I listen to a lot of music with my iPod and I travel a lot. I love my gaming headset and would love to have something similar in sound, but my headset is open back in design and I need something closed for travel, so I know I won't get what I want in that department. =(
I would prefer something over the ear, closed, and well balanced. I don't care if it's fashion forward or not, but I don't want something embarrassing either. Comfort is also a top priority, but I think that goes without saying.. I will not be using an amp either. $300 or less is possible, but $250 or less is better, and $200 or less is ideal.
The only knock with the headset I am using is that sometimes (in rare circumstances) I want the bass to resonate a little more in the low end while listening to music, so that might be something to consider, but it's not a huge issue. I love the bass that my headset provides. It's damn near perfect for me. There are just times, rare times, when I want to hear the low end of the bass brought forward a bit. Not exaggerated, but more present. I hope that makes sense... I do not want to sacrifice quality of sound. I hate Beats. They are crappy and the bass overpowers everything else. That is definitely not what I want, so please don't recommend that brand. (Thanks)
So, with all of that said, where should I start looking?
