Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum so apologies if this topic has been exhausted a hundred times over - I attempted to search for an answer but I'm left with more questions than I am answers so here's to hoping you guys can help.
I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones no more than £250 (around $370). I'll be using them at home and on the go and I'm not really worried about them being foldable or particularly fashionable, I really am just after solid audio quality.
The main types of genre I listen to are: ambient, electro/experimental (i.e.: the likes of SYNKRO, Emancipator, Indigo, Bonobo, Phaeleh - if anyone's familiar with those artists!), minimal 140 bpm dub - with very low, punchy bass (Kryptic Minds, Youngsta, Biome etc.) and in a completely different vein some classical too (Ludovico Einaudi being the main pianist I listen to).
So the headphones really cover quite a breadth of ranges with some shrill highs, plenty of mids, and of course, because of the dub a lot of lows. I'll be listening to the music via laptop and iPhone in almost all instances.
I've scoured the internet and managed to pick out headphones like: B+W P5s, Bose Quiet Comfort 15s, Sony DR BT50s, and Seinheisser HD600s but I really wouldn't be able to make a clear judgement on which to get.
Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance
