Hello everybody, I'm new to the forum. I'm completely new to hi-fi equipment. I have been doing searches and reading on a good pair of headphones to get for under $300. All my music listening will be done just thru my zune and possibly computer, too, but mostly the zune.
From searching and reading on here I got the impression that if I dont have an amp a lot of the high-end stuff wont sound all that great, but it seemed like quite a few people said that the ESW9's and AH700's sound great plugged straight in.
I noticed there is a large disparity in price between the two, so my question is, what is the difference in sound/build quality?
The music I listen to is eclectic. Some examples
Mostly listening to folk, rock, pop, old blues, motown, gospel, soul and some hip hop as well.
If you have any other recommendations that you think would work better for me I would appreciate them as well. Also, I travel so comfort is important to me.
Thanks for the help
Evan
