Can someone pls tell me what a good/cheap ($60) y split cable with a 3.5mm jack for my grado sr60's would be?
Looking for a pair that is super comftorable, has a bass emphasis, folds, over ear and under $200.
Mostly listen to rap, starting to get into some AC/DC style music.
M50- not enough bass?
HFI 580- not very comftorable
DT770- doesnt fold
Q-40- not comftorable
D2000- doesnt isolate well
Pro 550- way to big looking
Pro700Mk2- not comfy
Am I mistaken on anything? What are my other options?
In the US, the AD700 is less expensive than the other choices you mentioned. It can be bought now at amazon.com for about $110, and this is a little higher than the usual price. It has a natural balance, with an airy, spacious soundstage. I find it very good for classical music. It does not need an amp. Many find it light in the bass. I say that it has a very musical, non-resonant bass. It is open, very large, light, and, to most (including me), very comfortable. Some, however, find that it does not clamp sufficiently and moves too easily to be truly comfortable.
Any recommendation for closed headphones around $100 or less? I use the JVC HARX700 right now, and I absolutely love they way they fit, but I'm looking for something with more isolation (the HARX700 are semi-open) with similar comfort. I've already tried the CALs, and while I loved the sound, I did not like the way they fit (cups were too small). I've seen the Shure SRH440 recommended a lot at this price range. Anyone have experience with them? My main priorities are comfort and isolation, and I'll be using these headphones mostly for gaming and rock music. Thanks in advance.
Ah, that was not exactly the impression I got from the reviews on Amazon, thanks for telling me. It almost sounds like if I want depth to my bass, I must sacrifice another component...at least, for my price range. To me, the music isn't full enough if I'm not getting a rich sound on the lower end, but I also don't want it to come at the cost of muddy mids, or muffled highs.

Hello people. I asked here a while ago looking for headphones capable of gaming an some music. I had to spend the money elsewhere, but now I have some money and I'm ready to spend $150-$200 on a nice pair of full-sized headphones.
This time I won't give gaming a chance, I'll just focus on music. An important thing to note is they'll be powered by my Galaxy S2 and my computer. I listen to (big emphasis on the bold ones):
Rock, metal and derivatives:
Linkin Park
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Bon Jovi
Queen
AC/DC
Dubstep, house and derivatives:
Madeon
Deadmau5
Ephixa
Skrillex
I've been looking at the M50s and Aurvana Live!, are those good choices for my type of music?
