Hello Head-Fi!
Now I need some help...
Just a couple weeks ago I needed some travel phones to wear in school, car ect. I found the Audio Technica ES-7's and fell in love. I bought them and have been very happy with them! But now I need a new set of cans for home use. Basically, I need a pair of cans for the computer. I need them for gaming, movie watching, and casual listening. The genres or music I listen to are techno, dub-step, metal, and Broadway. Now these need to be pretty bass heavy due to movies and techno, but not too overpowering. (I can take alot of bass, just not Skull Candy bass...) These will be running out of my comps sound card (will buy one soon) and then be going to my PA2V2, then going to the head phones...
I've narrowed it down to two phones...
Beyerdynamic dt770 PRO 80 ohms
These look really nice, I hear good things about them. But there is the consumer version which is a little different. Which one?
Or...
Ultrasone HiFi780's
I also hear good things, but I dont like the Pleather pads. (Will probably put Valour pads on if I can find some that fit...)
So, which ones would you recommend? I'm open to other suggestions so don't be shy!
Thanks!
