Hello!
I'm looking for a pair of headphones to help me deal with my sensory issues.
Here is a video that shows the sense issues, though it can't show how badly touch hurts.
So, I would like to have some headphones to wear for whenever this gets too much.
My last pair of headphones were the HD 280 Pros, but I can't find them anymore :c
They were acceptable, with just slightly too much clamp. Couldn't wear them for longer than 2 hours.
My favorite sounding headphones ever are the HD 600s. I don't own a pair, but I went to one of the headfi meetups and got to try a very large selection of headphones.
So I would like a comfortable pair of headphones...
1. Over-ear is pretty much the only comfortable form of headphones. I have tried multiple on-ears and IEMs, and they all are pretty much fire.
2. I am okay with the "vice", but don't want it to be over the top.
3. The HD 600s sound is what I like. Sennheiser in general is my favorite sound style, I guess. The HD 280s couldn't do rock, sadly, but did most everything else acceptably. I mostly listen to video game music and orchestral, but I produce electronic as well.
4. good sound cancelling (passive?). I need something to block out the noise when I am out and about, because most sound really hurts my ears.
So, I don't actually know my budget, and I might buy multiple pairs from different budgets...
So how about: $20? $50? $100? How about above that? Cheaper is probably better, as I am a college student.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: I think I want to aim for under $50, for now. In a year or two I might get something better...
