Dang I'm in a similar boat, still trying to figure it out. From what I've read M50s, SRH880s, or Aviators are all good for this type of music, but they all seem to sound different depending on who reviews them. =/   Did you have any luck, Mimcia?  

I'll look into the DJ100 but right now I'm thinking of trying to find something that would work well unamped, and trying to figure out what sound signature my music tastes have. From what I've been reading it seems that maybe the Skullcandy Aviators are good for acoustic-y type stuff? Even...

Sorry to keep bumping, but from what I've been reading I've seen recommendations for headphones with good "bass" sound for people who listen to the type of music I listen to. I'm a little confused because I don't feel like the ambient artists I listen to (Stars of the Lid, Dead Texan, Beef...

Quote:   Thanks for the help! Just out of curiosity, why would I want something with a faster bass (and what would that be?) I am not listening to much dubstep type music (ambient and post rock don't have the thump) -- unless "bass" refers to something different in audiophile...

Thanks for the info! Does anyone have more information on the Beyer Custom Ones? I cant seem to find much in the way of reviews, they seem rather new. The DT 770 sound really nice, but both the Beyer options seem a little bit more than what I would want to pay for given that AT M50s can be had...

Right now I am using an iPod classic and my laptop for most music needs. My library is mostly split between FLAC and mp3. I am just getting into this stuff, so I am trying to read more about how my library should be stored, and am trying to reaquire some of my music at higher fidelity. I've...

Bumping for any tips.

Hey guys,   I'm looking to get into audiophile level sound. I mostly listen to post rock (Do Make Say Think, GSY!BE, Mogwai, etc.), warm-sounding folky stuff (Jose Gonzalez, Elliot Smith), and ambient and low-key electronica (Beef Terminal, Hint, Helios). Basically anything low-key and not...
