I'm seriously considering getting another pair of headphones. The AKG K240 are nice for what they are, but I really want to invest in a pare of headphones I can feel happy with without feeling like I need to try something nicer.
The specifics about my headphones preferences. I tend to listen to headphones with a braided cord, and I use them out of a portable amplifier (go dap GD-03 and FiiO E11) attached to my iPod Classic. 320 kps MP3. Isolation and leaking is not a concern. My musical preference is a bit varied. I listen from anything from post rock (godspeed you! black emperor), to dream pop, to post punk, to shoegaze, to extreme metal. I want headphones that can handle anything.
If anyone has any suggestions to make, I would appreciate it. I'm serious about budget. It has to be under 200. I'm also not just making this thread for kicks. I do plan on spending the money.
The alternative option would be to just get grado sr80i but I'm not sure if I'll be satisfied with just that.
