Hello everyone, I have been frequenting this website for quite a while for my source of all things audio related but never made an account until very recently. Head-fi has been a fantastic help so far and I was hoping I could receive some help in choosing out the perfect pair of headphones for my needs. Some key things I would like in these headphones are:
If anyone can provide assistance, thank you very much.
- Good sound (obviously) I enjoy bass in a good quantity so if it is overly bassy, that's not a big problem for me. I would like the bass to be nice, tight and punchy as well, not muddy. Mids and highs I am far less picky about, as long as they are decent sounding, they do not need to sparkle or what have you.
- Over-ear design or IEMs. I am really not a fan of on-ear design headphones.
- Comfortable for long periods of listening.
- Rock solid build. I am in high school and as you can imagine, there are just an infinite number of ways headphones could be damaged in that sort of environment. I would really like them to have a detachable cable, or at least a cable that can stand the test of time. Build is probably even more of a need than sound, as I would like the headphones to stick around for as long as possible.
- Very portable. Again, being in high school, it is very important for headphones to travel easily. I would like to have headphones that can fold in any way imaginable (DJ style) so transportation is not a hassle.
- A solid noise isolation. I ride the bus to and from school. It can get rather rambunctious in there, so it would be good to have isolation to combat them noisy individuals.
- Uncostly. If there is anything to suit these needs below $100, fantastic. If not, well... I'll think about that when I get to it.
If anyone can provide assistance, thank you very much.
