In the process of saving up for a hi-fi setup I decided it just wasn't worth the money to me, compared to other hobbies and priorities.
I'm looking for a full size around the ear headphones that don't need an amp to drive them. They will come straight out of a headphone jack on my cowon s9 and maybe my computer.
Here's what they need to be:
-Full size around-the-ear
-comfortable
-no amp needed
-closed or opened - doesn't matter
-price: whatever the price, although I'm assuming that no-amp headphones that sound good don't run much more than $300 USD.
If they are closed, it is an added plus because I will use them in more places, but only if they don't sound can-ny or get hot or sweaty on my ears.
The only headphone I've been considering so far are the Sens HD595's.
Musical tastes: Needs to play metal and orchestra well, most of the time these two genres are mixed together (symphonic metal), and about 50% of the vocals in the bands I listen too are male and 50% female-so have to sound good with both.
Thanks!
