I'm new here and looking to drop $30 USD (amazon gift credit) on a good pair of headphones that could replace or compliment my HD-202s. I tend to buy used so anything goes.
My typical music tastes: rock, alternative, pop, ska, techno, house
Headphones I currently have:
- Sennheiser HD 202 (my current main headphones)
- JVC HA-FX67B (Falls out of ear during jogging)
- Koss Sparkplug (good, but annoying to put in ears)
I'm looking into over-the-ear headphones. I typically like closed headphones, but sound fidelity and comfort take higher priority. I want something that is comfy, aesthetically pleasing, and plays well with the above genres. I might also use the new headphones for TV and movies. I'm currently open to suggestion, but these seem to have caught my attention.
- Panasonic RP-HTX7 (The classy retro look is catchy)
- Koss PortaPro
Feedback is greatly appreciated.
*EDIT* I happened to find a lot of people raving about Koss KSC75 and might look into them too.
While you're at it, check this thread out too. People are crazy about this headphone right now because it's approximately $30 but competes with headphones 5x the price. Only thing is they're half open, so it may not be best to use it portably because sound will leak in/out.
If you're looking for something closed however, the HTX7s are a good choice.
