If you can find the Denon D2000 these would be my recommendation as they are very comfortable and have a slight "V" shape which is nice for EDM, but it is still balanced enough to work as an all around type of headphone. It is also quite easy to drive from an iPod or computer
Hi guys,
Looking to purchase my first set of decent quality over-ear headphones, would greatly appreciate some input from people. I want to use them at Uni now that I'm starting my doctoral studies I'll be doing a lot of lengthy computer time in my office and travelling for research/conferences - so comfort is definitely a deciding factor.
Music: I listen to quite a mix. But the cans would be used mostly for dance (David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Avicii styles), rock (more main stream style rock like KOL, The Black Keys) and pop/alternative (Coldplay, The Naked and Famous, Vampire Weekend).
Games: Don't play so not required.
Amped/Unamped: unamped from either my iPhone/iPod or computer. (I don't own an amp but may consider it in a few years)
File Encoding: MP3 128 - 320kbps
Price Range: up to $350
Closed/Open: Closed - the less sound leakage the better (I share an office)
Past Headphones: Currently using a pair of on-ear Bose headphones I inherited a few years back. They sound is reasonable, bass is probably as much as I would like, but the mids tend to get lost.
Currently Looking At: Not really looking at anything seriously as of yet.
I do like the V-Moda M-100 - but wonder if they may have a little too much bass? I do like their portability, but heard that after a while they can become uncomfortable (ears touching the drivers and what not)
And I do have to wear glasses here n there (not all the time) so it'd be great to hear from anyone else who has to aswell.
Cheers Guys
