Hey everyone, been following these forums for a few weeks trying to get my bearings on everything.
Anyway, down to it. I was looking for a pair of headphones that would be used at home (movies/music), at the library (no leakage), and traveling by plane (isolation). With the occasional walk on campus but I plan to get a more portable set in the future.
I listen to rock, electronic, indie, hip-hop so really I'm pretty all across the board with my tastes.
I settled on the HD 280 Pro's today given that they seem to be pretty universally praised.
Around this price range ($100), did I make the right choice? Any options that may be better I should consider or will these suit my untrained ears well enough?
If I do end up keeping these, it seems that an amp would be a good investment. Any suggestions in that regard? Would a portable amp for my mp3 player work with my laptop too?
Thanks a lot guys, any feedback would be awesome. I can slowly see myself sinking down the audiophile hole.
