So I know this question is asked on here just about everyday, but if i'm gonna be spending around 300 dollars of my hard earned cash, then I want to spend it wisely.
so here goes, Im looking for a good set of closed cans, Im willing to spend around 250. They have to be comfortable, durable, and most of all sound good. My main sources will be my laptop (macbook) and my ipod classic. I listen to just about everything. I'd say mostly hip-hop as of late, but I also thoroughly enjoy electronica, trance, dubstep, trip-hop, rock, classic rock, alternative, jazz, classical, etc etc..
Bass is a must, I want to feel the thump and thud of the bass but I don't want that to be the only thing I hear. It cant be to muddy or overpowering. I was originally going to purchase the ATH-M50s but i'm about to get some money so I'm looking for something a bit higher end.
so far i'm considering...
ATH-M50s (and save some money)
Phiaton MS400
Ultrasone Dj1 Pro (leaning towards these)
AKG K242HD
how do they all sound and compare to one another? what other cans should I consider?
oh and one last thing, would I need an amp for any of these cans?
Thanks in advance.
