Hello head fi members!
Been lurking around here the last couple of days, reading a whole lot of threads for the sole purpose of educating myself on the subject of headphones and my future purchase of a new pair. At the moment I'm in the possession of a pair of WesC headphones (I know, pathetic, right?) which I bought approximately 6 years ago when I didn't know any better. Now, I've finally realized it's about time I buy new ones so I can listen to music the way it's supposed to.
Anyway, for the most part I listen to Electronica, Classic, Rock and Pop music. A pair of versatile (and portable!) headphones which sound good with any genre would be ideal. Isolation would be a slight priority as well.
At the moment I'm looking at:
V moda crossfade m80
Sennheiser HD25 1 ii
(the two frontrunners)
but also the DT1350, ATH ESW-9, B&W P5 and JVC HA-S500. There's been some great reviews and comments already on this site on the m80 and HD25's but any further comment would be great, as I'm probably picking between those two and I'm having a real tough time choosing which one to buy. I would probably be open to full size phones too, but then they'd need to be slim and neat, not like the M50's. Suggestions?
200 euros or so to spend. If there are any other phones I've forgotten to mention that are in this price bracket, feel free to recommend any!
Cheers
