Out of the ones you listed, I would get the HTX7, but, if I may, I feel that the Panasonic HTF600 would be a much better option overall.
For the more pricy ones you listed, the Creative Aurvana Live and SR80i would be prime choices.
Also, I would take a look at the Superlux 668B. It's basically in the middle of your two price ranges, costing around $50-$55
Hey folks. Looking for a little assistance. After quite some time spent with ear-buds, i have decided to jump back into the realm of the audiophile with some new over-ear headphones. As you are probably aware, there are approx. 10 million models out there to choose from. My main focus is to find the best match between audio quality and price.
Money is very tight at the moment, so I'm looking to probably start at the low end for now. I may use the phones for some gaming and movies, so surround sound has some intrigue, but mostly it'll be for music, which is generally rock and roll although I do have eclectic taste. I like a noticeable and quality bass, but don't need crazy beats and the thumping effect. It would be nice if there was an option to add a mic later. Mostly plugged into the pc (i3 3200 with B75 motherboard, Realtek audio) but some ipod as well. So no amp or sound card involved ATM.
Not really concerned with open vs. closed (i guess closed but i'm FAR more interested in the audio quality). I am hoping some people can post with the differences between these models both in terms of features and in terms of audio quality.
Did a bunch of research, and narrowed down the lower cost options (approx. $36-$43) to these (I am located in Canada):
Sennheiser HD 201
Sennheiser HD 202
MEElectronics HT-21
Panasonic HTX7
Sony XB600 (currently on sale locally for $49)
But, I am tempted by the very enthusiastic reviews of the Grado SR60i and SR80i that I have read. So I am also keeping the option open on spending a bit more on one of these (lowest price available right now listed).
ST60i - 99
SR80i - 129
Creative Aurvana - 87
Sennheiser PX 100/11 - 74
Which one should I get? Thanks in advance for your help.
