Hi I'm trying to decide on a good pair of headphones as my first proper pair. I own a pair of cheap skullcandy earbuds, and the turtlebeach earforce x1(horrible $40 gaming headphones), I'm also a college student which puts limits on what headphones I could get. I was considering grado sr80i for a while but ultimately think they won't insulate the sound enough
my requirement are:
-Closed Ear (loud roommates)
-Sub $100
-Circumaural (again loud roommates)
-Fairly Comfortable (use for studying)
-Wide applications (mp3 player, laptop, movies, games)
-Durability(bose is out lol)
Purposes:
-Variety of music(alternative rock(U2, coldplay), techno, hip hop(kid cudi), rap, classical)
-Movies/tv
-Gaming
I've read countless reviews all saying that the MDR-V6 are superb for they're type and price, I also like they're style and that they don't require a lot of driving power. The only issues I have that I'd really want expert advice on is that I've read that they are very "mechanical" and can be difficult to listen to(the music doesn't blend together well?) I'm not 100% sure how important this is and if I, as an audio "nooby", will notice this very much. I'd love to hear from some people who have MDR-V6's and other headphones around that price range.
Other headphones I'm considering:
-sennheiser HD280 pro (low bass and fairly large)
-audio technica ATH-PRO5(ugly design, not sure of sound quality)
Thanks in advance!
