hey everyone, im very VERY new to this site... and this subject...
basically over the weekend i was in a local electronics store here in Australia and they had the Beats by Dre - Studios on display, so i gave them a try and was very impressed. though not with the price tag...
so i got home and used the google box and stumbled across this site (and many, MANY others) who all say the same thing, that the Beats By Dre are nowhere near the quality for the price as compared to competitors etc. etc.
So my question is this, for under $200, what in your opinion for the best headphones for the following use:
Mainly at work, sitting at the desk (able to knock out a LITTLE office sound, phones, people bitching etc)
Supply decent, but not overpowering bass
super SUPER comfortable (sensitive ears) and I’ll be wearing them for 8hours+
Music genre will mostly be Rock... A little hip hop... And a little electronic...
Due to discovering this website I have a great interest in getting into Audiophilia (is that a word? sounds sick lol)... So I’d like these headphones to be pretty decent...
I have the Sennheiser CX500 in ears, and they’re fine for portable, but not as clear or as deep as what a decent set of over-ears will get me...
I bought a pair of Skullcandy’s a few years ago (off amazon) and have only used them maybe a dozen times... As they give me serious pains and don’t really get nearly as loud as I wish they would.
Anyways, I hope you guys can help me out here as im looking to buy in the next couple of days... And im hopeless at making decisions... So do it for me ahhaha
Thanks guys,
Mitch
