What is your budget?
Up to $200
Are you OK with open cans (they leak sound)?
No, closed cans definitely
What equipment will be powering these cans? Will you be using an amp?
my desktop using integrated sound from the motherboard. Might get an amp but I don't know very much about them.
What is the format of your music and other sounds you will putting into these cans?
320kbps MP3s and FLAC.
Describe the sound signature that you are seeking?
If you don't know your preferred sound signature (and even if you do), what genres of music do you plan to run through these cans?
I listen mostly to classic rock (Styx, Pink Floyd, Foreigner, et. cetera), some electronic and house, occasional dubstep, and some harder rock.
Do you plan to use them outside your home? If so, in what way & with what equipment?
I do plan to use them outside my home, but not too often, they'll be mostly indoor use, but I have roommates and don't want to bother them with too much leakage. Outside of home they would be powered with the samsung galaxy s3 or an ipod touch. I don't know much about amps so if there are any suggestions I'll consider them.
