Hey everybody, I was sent here by the AVS Forum folks who claim this is the place I need to be for headphone inquiries.
Here's the deal, I'm a freshman studying Audio Engineering and need a solid pair of headphones for my lab work (my cheapy $15 earbuds just ain't cuttin it) and I'd like to get the best over the ear headphones I can for $150 or less. Outside of lab work I'll probably be using them with my guitars amp, my audio receiver (for movies and games), and my listening to my iPod.
I was seriously looking into Sennheiser's HD280 Pro headphones for their good sound quality and nice seal to shut out outside noise (and keep the noise I want in) but was informed they may not have the best bass and don't sound as good with mid to high range stuff as other similarly priced phones.
Then someone over at AVS pointed me in the direction of the Beyerdynamic DT 250s and they seem like a great set of headphones but I figure I should check here first. Your opinions on the DT 250, the HD280 Pro, and any other recommendations are greatly appreciated and I could really use the help because I'm completely in the dark here.
