Hey,
Sorry to bother, I hope you can help me. I'm buying a pair of open headphones.
Budget: around 80€. I don't mind buying used. If anyone in Europe has something interesting to sell that fits my budget, feel free to contact me by PM.
Use: with my laptop, mainly. Music (mp3) and tv shows/movies. I want something comfortable that allows me to use them for 2 or 3 hours.
Amp: I don't want one.
Music styles: jazz, funk and soul. Some Bowie/Radiohead/Dylan/Morphine once in a while.
I've been looking at Grado SR60 and Sennheiser HD555 (I can get them for around 80€ here). I'm shure you know them.
Sennheiser pros: their retail price is generally more than 80€, I think; seem very comfortable; everyone says good things about Senn's.
They're neutral, they say: is that good for jazz, funk and soul music?
Grado pros: they have so many positive reviews, everyone seems to like them.
About Grado's, they don't seem as comfortable as the Sennheiser. It's also said they have a more aggressive sound. Is that good?
I'm really confused, I hope you can help me decide. Thank you very much.
