Hi - I'd like some advice for headphones...
Applications: Gaming (create accurate environment, FPS shooter gaming), Music (Bassy Metal, Drum/bass, techno, Rock, some rap), Reference for comparison to Home Theater and Car Audio Setups - calibration/tuning purposes.
Scenario: Pimeta or PPA, Audigy 2zs for gaming, undecided (but cleaner) source for all else.
Budget: $250 for headphones alone; light/moderately used is acceptable. Separate cables (Senn) should be considered part of the headphone cost.
Preferences: Create realistic 3d environment, great detail, good bass output, not overly 'bright'
Now - any recommendations? and with them, I need to know how easy the cans are to drive (may be running without amp for few months).
Any help is appreciated.
Edit: I'm also looking for places to audition cans in SOCAL area (perhaps Orange county).
