Umm mostly music from paramore( not sure if its hard rock) and any popular song that's nice. perhaps i would also need some bass for some of my dubstep
Hello all!
I am new to this whole "head-fi" world but have been obsessively reading the forums here for the past couple weeks. I am looking to spend around $200 (maybe $300) for a great pair of portable (or semi portable) headphones that I can drive through my iphone 4. The catch is I really don't want to invest in an amp at this time. So I'm looking for headphones that can be powered adequately (able to reach near their full potential-volume, separation, clear highs, mids, lows)) through just the phone. Maybe this is impossible. I don't know. I listen to a lot of acoustic music (folk, bluegrass, classical, jazz), but also indie rock and punk.
As a novice, I don't know how to describe the sound I am looking for other than "full, open, airy and well balanced". As for the portability, I should say I don't mind having a somewhat bulky headphone if the sound merits the bulk and they are still comfortable and able to move with me. They do not need to be closed. I am open to either option.
Thanks in advance for your input and I apologize if I am recreating an existing similiar thread, but as I said I have been reading for weeks and haven't quite found what I'm looking for exactly! Please help!
Any thoughts about these? Others?

What genders of music you listen the most?
Do you need a lot of noise isolation?
Also the HF5 is about the same price as the SE215 on amazon, it might be a better option than the MC5.
I'm going to get some ACS custom tips but can't decide what IEMs to go with. I would like a warm and smooth sounding set of headphones that have fairly forward vocals and a nice amount of bass (more than neutral) with a bit of punch to it.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but from what I've been sifting through it seems like a nifty little treasure-trove of information.
Right now I have 300 dollars to spend on a pair of headphones. I'm looking for headphones that I can carry around and use in public occasionally, but also use at home and in the car. I mainly listen to Electronic music and dubstep, along with some punk and classic rock. I prefer a deep bass. Is there any suggestions anyone has? Keep in mind that I do plan on purchasing an headphone amp in the future.
are you looking for in-ear headphones or on ear type?
sorry, should have specified. I'm looking for an over ear type. I think I am going to go with the Denon AH-D1100s. Will these suit my needs? Also note that I'm limited what my local store has to offer. (I have a gift certificate)
