Hello Everybody! Long time lurker, first time poster!
Okay, Getting to the point:
I love good headphones. The problem I've had for the longest time is that I only really get good in-ear models, and then get ghetto over head models. Observe my current selection:
Recently I was given a $500 Amazon gift card, which I am excited to spend on some nice over head cans. I scoured the internet and came up with a variety of information that I've tried my best to distill. I see a couple of models that appeal to me, but I'd really like to get a pair that I know I'll treasure and keep around always ( much like my SE535s ). Here are some of the models I have been looking at:
What I like about these models are that they are from a industrial design sense nice wood pieces, which really appeals to me from both a sound and build sense. To be fair, I haven't heard any Grados or Denons in my life, but I hear good things on this board about them. All I know is that I need to be saved from my daily Beats by Dre headphones! I don't mind paying a couple hundred dollars more out of my own pocket if there is another tier I haven't considered.
Disclaimer: I have been lurking for days now reading, and I still feel lost. If there are threads that are similar, please excuse my good thread searching skills.

- Beats by Dre Studio (don't hurt me)
- Beats by Dre Solo (I was in a bad place k?)
