SO I've been using AKG K172HD's and as my first audiophile headphones I was quite impressed. What I liked about them was the soundstage, they didn't influence the music, and were good on comfort for about 3 hours. What I didn't like though was the bass was very minimal I had to almost always...

I listen to a lot of acoustic folk, indie rock, and surfer rock. But i'm not confined to one sound, I listen to most anything I find unique. I use an iPhone 4 and Macbook pro 15 in.  and price range is 150 - 200.

So much information, I'll be reading these resources for days. How many of you own a record player?

Thanks for all the input I feel more educated on what type of amp I should buy!

I went with the AKG, is their buyers remorse, slightly cause I didn't realize how immobile they really are.   Here is a little review. http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/527762/a-quick-and-dirty-review-of-the-akg-k172-hd#post_7117691

If your looking for an incredible headphone that will blow your head off, this isn't it. But it it is a great headphone just not incredible. I spend most my time listening to music whether through speakers or my headphones when i design I listen to music. Part of my job is making sure audio is...

I'm Selling some really lightly used (used for only 3 weeks) AKG K172 HD's. They are pretty good headphones, the velvet ear pads are really comfortable especially after the foam breaks in a bit. It has great stage sound and works well on Mac's and iPhone's but sounds incredible in a better...

No I live in a small town in Montana it's all trial and error. Thanks for all your help. I'll update on what I got and what I think.

Some of those that were listed we a little out of my price range.   So here is what I'm thinking.    1.Grado Sr225i    Although I've heard so many great things about the Grado SR225i's I'm not sure they should be my first purchase in the high end world. Reasoning why is that yah so...
