I have been doing a ton of research on what headphone would fit me the best. I know this has been asked a lot, but the only problem is there are so many reviews it is overwhelming and actually very difficult to find the best fit for me. I have searched on this forum (and a ton of other websites) to help me find a solution.
I am looking for an all around pair of headphones. They do not have to be amazing because I am no audio expert. However, I would obviously like the best bang for my buck. My usual use is as follow:
50% Music
40% Gaming
10% Movies
I listen to metal, rock, ska, reggae, and a little bit of rap (Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, Sublime, Bob Marley, Ziggy Marley, Disturbed, 36 Mafia, and 2pac for example). I love heavy bass in headphones. Not ugly popping bass like you hear in cheap car or stereo subwoofers, but very deep and clear booms. I generally always listen to my audio in medium - high levels. I live in an apartment so headphones that allow a lot of sound to escape are out of the question.
I currently do not have the money to purchase an Astro Mixamp so please keep this in mind. So far I have boiled it down to these (I am open to suggestions for others, but please provide details as to why they would be better than these suggested.) I have no idea which of the following would fit my daily use the best so please point me in the right direction. Thanks!
1. Sennheiser HD-555 (I have read the bass is weak).
2. Audio Technica ATH-A700 (once again I read the bass is weak).
3. Logitech G35
4. Razer Megalodon
5. Tritton AX 720
6. Sennheiser PC 350 (I have read you have to mod it for good bass. I am not comfortable drilling holes in a rather expensive headset before the warranty runs out.)
Once again, thanks for your help!
