Hello,
I've never bought a pair of actual good headphones before (my best so far have been some $40 Skullcandies) so I thought here would be the best place to ask.
I'm willing to spend up to $180(ish), but preferably $130(ish).
The most popular pair on the internet for that price are the ATH M50s (the ones I think I will get), but I've seen in other places that you can get a lot better for $30 more!
They will be used for everything (music, gaming, youtube etc.) but most importantly music
Some other things I need is that they have to be very well built! No plasticy, flimsy headphones that feel like they're going to break. They have to be relatively noise cancelling, it doesn't have to be that I can't hear anything else at all, but still quite a lot.
The type of music I listen to is stuff like 'Alt - J', 'Modest Mouse', 'The Shins', 'Two Door Cinema Club', 'Neutral Milk Hotel' etc. but sometimes I also listen to dubstep like 'Ry Legit', 'Arkasia' and 'Nero' but I'm not really a basshead. Also, I never listen to any kind of rap!
They must be sufficient for things like gaming and youtube aswell (it must not be terrible) but my main concern is music.
Although I'm not an audiophile (yet ;p), I believe audiophile grade headphones are the best quality ones so as long as they're in my price range, that's the type of headphones I would like.
Thank you.
