Hello, everyone. Thanks in advance for your support.
I'm interested in purchasing my first set of headphones. After weeks of research, I've come to the conclusion that Audio-Technica's ATH-M50x might be best for me. It seems like they're praised all over this forum, but of course, you have some people claiming there are better headphones under $200. Which is just over my budget. I had the opportunity to try on Bose QC 25 recently and to be honest, they don't sound much better than the Apple EarPods I've been using since 2012. Kind of shocking considering that $300 price tag on those things. Noise cancellation isn't anything I need or want though.
So what do you guys suggest? Would the M50x be good starter headphones? Definitely an improvement over the Apple EarPods, right? I should also mention that I mainly listen to rock (acoustic, hard, post-) and metal (alternative, doom, heavy, post-, sludge) genres.
Thanks again for helping me out. I know these questions can get tiring.
