OK, let me start off by saying that I've never owned high end headphones, or even midrange for that matter. I listen to metal, mostly death, and I also listen to power metal, and some hard rock. Some examples : Cradle of Filth, Iron Maiden, Hammerfall, Arch Enemy, and Illnath(no slipknot or any other radio stuff). I'm looking for some portable phones that have some decent bass(tight, no "boomy" bass, I like "thump") for my Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra. They also have to be sealed, headband type phones(no clips or in ear phones). The Zen is a little weak when it comes to bass, so bass heavy phones are alright. Also, the Zen's output is minimal at best(I have to use a cheap booster while at work). I'm currently using some old Koss Pro 35's, which I love, but I would like to get some sealed-type phones. I'm considiring the AKG K26P's, but I've seen some seriously mixed reviews, so I'm undecided. I just haven't had much experience with headphones. I'd rather not spend over $60. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
