So, I listen to a good deal of music on my car's cd player. I recently started using an MP3 player I've had for a while, and I've noticed how much more detailed the music is, even using cheap $15 earbuds, than it is listening in the car. I also listen to music on my computer with some $60 or $70 creative speakers (2 speakers, 1 subwoofer) which to me seem pretty decent. I listen to a lot of Radiohead, Wilco, and some ambient or instrumental music here and there, and can really tell that I'm missing out on a lot of detail listening to that crappy car CD player and/or the cheapo earbuds. Either way, I've decided to invest in a decent pair of headphones.
Being an audio noob, how much will I really notice the difference between a cheaper pair of headphones ($50 - $100) to a more expensive pair ($150-$200)?
Is there really that big of a difference between the two price ranges? Also, what kind of places can I go to to try different models out locally?
