I have never owned a more than $20 pair of headphones. The last set I bought were some Phillips earbuds that were ok. I went on vacation and was going to be taking a long plane ride and I finally broke down and purchased a decent set of earbuds. I bought the Sennheiser CX 475 earbuds from Best Buy. Sadly there are the best sounding headphones I have ever heard. I really like them but they are not really good for listening at home on the computer or around the house. I am now ready to purchase my first serious set of headphones. At first I wanted to get some Bose headphones but after educating myself, and comparing them to my earbuds, I know better.
I listen to classic rock, modern rock and techno (Mostly Drum and Bass and Trance). I occasionally listen to other types like country, R&B, Jazz, Blues and Classical but not nearly as often as the Rock and Techno. So this is what I have in mind when I consider the headphones I want to purchase. I also want to keep it under $100. So I have done the research and narrowed it down the the following choices.
Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
Sure SRH440
Ultrasone HFI-450
Sony MDR7506
Sony MDR-V6
The earbuds I have are Sennheiser and I have heard from others that they make great headphones. I had a cheap pair of sony headphones that I wasn't very impressed with and don't really know about the Sony's but everything I have read said that these are good. I know nothing about the Sure or the Ultrasone. My question is which of "these 5" would you get and why? I am looking for best overall sound quality, comfort, and durability. I want these to last for several years. Thanks in advance.
