I am looking for a set of good quality closed headphones to use at work. I need to block external sound out and also not disturb other folks.
Willing to spend up to $250 probably not more than that. But if the best value is below $100, I dont really have to spend it all.
For context, my listening taste varies a lot. I listen equal amounts of R&B, house, hip-hop and jazz. Also lesser amounts of pop and classic, world music etc. So it is a broad range of material but I would like a headphone equally capable of providing solid tight quality bass, as well as high end detail.
So far I have heard the Sony MDR-V6 ($75) is decent, but can be a tad harsh. I had listened to the Sennheiser HD 595 and 600 in store and I liked those a lot, but from what I understand they are open phones and will not provide isolation. I also listened to the Sennheiser 280 Pro ($85) for a brief minute. Seems okay, but I dont know how it compares to others in this price category.
Thanks.
