Hello,
For the last few days I've been searching for new headphones to replace the current one I have which is the Stanton DJ Pro 2000S. This is because this one is totally falling apart and being hold together with tape at the moment.
I've been doing some reading on these forums and read some reviews about a few headphones. Seeing as I can't spend to much money, I'm willing to spend +- €50 - €100.
There are some conditions to the headphones. First I would prefer it to be closed as I don't want other to hear what I'm listening to and there can be lots of noise here. Second they must be pretty comfortable as I will be using them allot, and of course the sound must be good.
I will be using the headphones for on the PC to listen music, play movies and games with. However I listen to allot of music so the sound should be very close to what I'm used to with the Stanton DJ Pro 2000S. The music I mostly listen to is (Melodic Death) Metal.
After some research I've seen some great reviews from two headphones that seem to meet my requirements (Don't know how the sound compares though). The Creative Aurvana Live! costs around €50 here and seems like a good deal seeing the reviews. However I've seen some other reviews seeing it ain't that great. The Sennheiser HD 428 costs about the same here. I've found one review where these two got compared and the Sennheiser came out on top sound wise however I've also found other reviews praising the CAT! and seeing it getting a better score overall.
Is there anything you guys can tell me about these two headphones in particular and how any of these compare to my current headphone? Or would you suggest a other headphone for my needs? Also the CAT! seems to have the cable coming from both cups. Is this annoying or hardly noticeable?
Thanks in advance,
