I am finally happy with my IEM inventory so I accidentally started lookign at cans. Originally I had a $50 Best Buy gift card I was trying to spend. my searching has done what it normally does and the scope has now crept away from the orginal intent. I just want a good set of headphones now. If I can get them from BB, great. If not, fine. I like the sound sig of my S4. I need bass and some crispness to the highs is required too. Don't know if it is my actual hearing or if its my taste, but I tend to respond better to something like that. Usage will mainly be on my PC for movies/gaming/music but occasionally on my portables (Sansa Fuze+ and Zune 120). I am curious about any first hand experience about the cans below:
Koss UR55
Koss DJ100
Sony XB50
Audio Technica ATH-M50
Sennheiser HD555
The first 3 can be found locally to audition and really are the budget I should stay in. Yes I know there is a great range of quality/price. I am really looking for value and know that realistically these will get light usage. The M50 is sexy and seems to have the strong bass I enjoy. The HD555 is very highly regarded and that is always a cool thing. Not really thinking they are ideal for what I want though. I will want to use them with my portable on occasion so the HD555 would need to be replugged, but I can do that.
