This is my first post on the forum and I've been doing a lot of research but still unsure of what would be best for me. I've currently got a pair of HD 280s which have served me well but are showing some wear and I feel like upgrading to something better.
Their main use will be at home on my desktop and laptop but also on my ipod and possibly for travel occasionally. I have PXC 250's which I can use for travel anyways, so I'm debating on whether or not to buy my HD280 replacements with travel in mind as that might limit my options and remove some of the open air options. I mostly listen to metal, though I do occasionally enjoy listening to stuff like the les miserables soundtrack.
After reading around for a bit, I'm leaning towards SR225 at the moment, though I'm pretty much open to suggestion as I'm still very new to the world of nicer headphones. I don't currently have an amp, so that would be another factor. I'm going to set my price limit at $400 total for now, but if there's something close enough to that price then it might be manageable.
I think that covers all the details about what I'm looking for at the moment...
