Ok, so I had a pair of Koss UR-40 headphones and broke them. Now I am in the market for a new pair. I am not a big audiophile but I do like what I am listening to to sound good. I have a larger head (mainly in the width) as well as medium to larger size ears. I like my headphones to completely surround my ears. Anything sitting directly on my ears tends to become uncomfortable after a little while. I am also looking for something lightweight. I don't really want to notice them on my head.
The headphones will be used primarily for listening to music on my PC with occasional use on my phone for mp3 playback. I listen to a range of music from classical to heavy metal, don't listen to any rap or hip-hop. Occasional video games and movies. I don't currently use a fancy sound card in the PC, just the on board audio. I don't need sound deadening either.
Like I said, I had the Koss UR-40 headphones. I picked them up locally about two years ago and liked them. However, I have heard of brands like Sennheiser and skull candy and thought I would try to pick up the best I could in my price range.
I don't have a very good selection of headphones available in my local stores anymore (wal-mart or best buy). So I am ordering online. After looking around amazon, I picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD 202 II headphones. They sound good, but they are to tight and the cans barely fit over my ears. So I am going to get rid of those and find something else. I was considering the Sennheiser HD448 but I would like some advice prior to ordering anything again. Kinda wish there was a place I could try them on..
Anyway, my price range is around 50-80 dollars (US). I don't want anything flashy style wise. Prefer straight black or silver/black. Thanks for taking the time to read and help out..
