Hey, so I'm very new to all this and I've been wanting to buy pair of over ear headphones for myself. My budget is around $200 (could maybe go a little more). I listen to a lot of metal/metalcore (August burns red, Parkway drive, Texas in july, ect) I also listen to a bit of hardcore and post-hardcore. I listen to Lights (the musician) a ton as well. I do listen to other genres as well but not a lot. I've done a bit of looking around and I've seen quite a few people recommending Grado brand. a few people were saying sr80i. My dad has a pair of Ps500s that I tried out for a few days. they sounded great, but I guess i'm a bit more of a basshead than I thought. I felt like i needed more of it. ( I kind of want to feel my music with bass drops or breakdowns a bit more than I am). the reason I am ruling out Grado is that they are uncomfortable to me and I also don't really like the way they look. So if anyone could help recommend anything for me that would be great. I just saw future shop has sennheiser hd558 on sale for $180 from $280. would anyone reccomend them? Also I would be using these in public and at home, but opened back or closed doesn't really matter much to me. Sorry if im all over the place. I'm sort of lost on what to look for here. anyways, let me know.
Edit: I would also like to get or make a portable amp. not sure if I should have mentioned that.
Thanks
Alex
