First of all, I have about $200 to spend (maybe a little more if I get desperate). Second, my music tastes demand detail in jazz and classical recordings. I especially like my opera. I don't know if it makes much difference, but I have both digital and analog recordings (as old as the '40s - you know, the Solti recording of Wagner's Ring?).
I also want either something closed (to block computer noise, and to be polite to fellow students in the university library), or perhaps an ety.
So I really like detailed sound stage - but beyond that I don't know. Why? Because I've been using Sony MDR-V600. I thought they sounded good (my friend's Koss sound muddy in comparison), but after reading so much about headphones at various places, I'm thinking it might be time to try a new pair of headphones.
I figure I'll buy through headphone.com, seeing as I can return them after 30 days if I don't like whatever I get.
The only place I might be able to audition heapdhones is The Stereo Shoppe (Lansing, MI), but I'm not sure they have headphones. Or does anybody know of a place within an hour of Michigan's capital?
Thanks,
Jeff
PS my discman is a Sony D-E301, but at times I listen through the headphone jack on my dad's high(er) end CD player, which sounds much nicer. So the new phones should be somewhat versatile in this respect.
