Help, I need some new cans! I listen to all types of music, but mostly rock. My sources are cheap (phone, PC). My last set of cans was the HD 595 with a decent amp. That turned out to be wasted cash on my ears; I found the HD 595s to be seriously boring. I'm no basshead, but man cannot live on mids alone. Likewise, I'm not a huge fan of heavy V-shaped headphones, I do like SOME mids.
Can anyone suggest a set of closed cans under $125 (preferably less) that are:
(1) comfortable for a big-headed, glasses-wearing dork like me,
(2) fun,
(3) easy to drive, and
(4) versatile enough that they won't suck on the occasion I listen to non-rock types of music.
I like the bass tight, and the treble perhaps slightly forward, but not sharp, and I prefer a slightly warm sound. No muddy. No boomy. No sparkly. I don't need tremendous resolution, it would be wasted on my sources.
I recently tried the VOXOA bluetooth headphones and found them to be a bit muddy, and too V-shaped for my tastes. Back to cords, I guess.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
