Hi all, I could really use some advice. I'm looking to get my wife a nice set of headphones. I have some criteria but I'm not really in synch with the market on them. I'm hoping I can throw down a list and get some help, so here it goes.
Noise Isolation is a big deal so I'm guessing something closed.
She listens to everything from Singer/Songwriter to Pop and Alternative. Not too concerned with bass but it would be nice to have some presence.
Definitely not advanced enough to worry about needing an amp and she mostly listens on her computer. Portability isn't a must because she doesn't travel that much but it would be nice if they weren't an anchor.
Comfort will be a deal breaker and to add to that it would be nice if they were aesthetically pleasing.
Finally price. I'm hoping to stay around $150 but can flex either way a little as long as the quality is worth it.
So how about it am I too far out there? Also, for myself I am thinking about the Aviators, mostly because I like how they look (retro) but I want something with a little bass and noise isolation. I hear they are not the best for either? I appreciate everyone's time and thanks in advance.
