New Head-Fier
I'm looking to get my first serious set of cans that I'm going to use practically all day long: at work, on the underground and sometimes at home. Therefore, noise isolation (and cancelling(?)) is important, and I will probably buy a FiiO DAC to get the maximum out of them.
Mainly I to listen to rock and pop music: Pink Floyd, The Doors, Amy Winehouse, Radiohead are some of my favourites.
Today I took my time at Currys to try on a couple of headphones and the Sennheiser Momentum Black was the only one that sounded interesting (there were only a couple of units exposed) but this pair is a bit expensive, costs £200 and no noise cancelling. Not sure about the isolation. The detail seemed quite allright despite the reviews. I could hear how ****ty spotify "extreme" quality is - I didn't had any better quality source at the moment. The sound was very spacious and they were comfortable as well for the time being.
Before, I owned a Brainwavz B2 which I really liked and got disappointed when I got my Shure SE215. That thing is dull.
Please let me know what kind of headphones do you recommend. Does the Momentum worth the money?
TL;DR: looking for a pair of cans around £200 that has very good detail, soundstage, comfy and noise isolation for office and possible noise cancelling for the subway.
Edit: I wonder how the SRH840 sound compared to the Momentums; based on the reviews they seem to fit my taste and are much cheaper.
