hi, I'm a newbie in headphones and looking for a portable, or semi-portable on ear headphone to listen music through my player, mostly.
the three genres of music that I listen the most are:
 
_Progressive Rock
_Alternative Rock
_Electronic(especially Psycho)
 
 my budget is about 200$, what do you suggest for my use?
 
thanks

I ever came across a thread similar to this and a user suggested the Westone 1!

yeah but I want on ear headphones, not in-ear

Grado SR225i should fit you well just get an amp like a fiio or something for electronic.

If you want to have any portability at all, don't go with a Grado can... They're completely open.
 
My suggestion would be the HD25 1-II

take a look at phiaton ms300/400

yeah i think these are good choices especially HD25, but which one is better?

haha sorry i never tried the HD25 so i cant really recommend it. one thing for sure is ill get the adidas version one day xD .
 
I have the MS300... which i bought around 130USD from amazon last time. really **** good deal to me, price rose though.. It sounds aggressive and a lil bassy.
 
But what do u want to hear in your music? the bass? the treble?
 
the Audio technica M50s is an excellent allrounder ... while the PRO700mk2 apparently has amazing bass. Ohhh so many to choose from

The Denon HP700 is an excellent choice as well and do not require an amp.

well, the mids and highs are more important than bass to me. M50 is so big, I want sth to walk around with it without looking like an allien

yeah , but looks a little big:-?

The DN700 uses. 40mm driver so is about the size of the M50 or there about.

Whoops!

HD25s would probably fit you then taking back the grado's actually.

Why is HD25 's impedance so high?(70 ohms)

Bigger impedance means it's less susceptible to burn out.
