Recently got some VSonic GR07 IEMs and they've ruined my ears - I can't listen to my old cheapo headphones anymore. The VSonics aren't really comfortable enough for prolonged at-home listening though, so I'm looking for a decent set of full-size cans. I prefer circumaural - supra-aurals have never been comfortable for me. They'll be driven out of my laptop's headphone jack (I know, I know...) with the Realtek HD codec and THX TruStudio drivers.
I plan on using these for music, gaming, and movies. My music preferences are pretty varied, ranging from pop to rock to vocal to metal with some electronic thrown in for good measure. The only major genres that I don't have significant quantities of are rap and country. As such, I don't need massive quantities of bass, but I do like it to be there when needed. So far, the GR07s have done a pretty good job of this, so something with a similar sound signature would be ideal I think. Budget is ~$100.
So far, I'm looking at:
Samson SR850/Superlux 668b (look like pretty good deals)
Fischer Audio FA-011 (really like the look of these, though some reviews suggest they may have too much bass for my taste and they're a tad over budget)
ATH AD700 (too weak in the bass perhaps?)
