Hey guys, sorry for another headphone recommendation thread, but I went through some threads and couldn't find anything that pertained to me specifically.
I currently have the Audio-Technica AD700 Headphones, but I personally find them a little uncomfortable, so I'm looking to sell them and pick up another pair. Budget is about $150 max, and I have no preference to open or closed cans since I'll just be listening to CD's through a stereo amp in my bedroom. I have had an eye on the HD555's since they seem to have glowing reviews, but apart from that I don't know of any other solid recommendations, given my musical tastes. I listen to a wide variety of music, including:
Blink-182
Billy Talent
City and Colour
Foo Fighters
Led Zeppelin
Metallica
Linkin Park
Oasis
Snow Patrol
U2
Any recommendations? Also, if I grab a dedicated stereo receiver/amp (in the $300-$400 range) would I need a headphone amp, or should I be fine with the receiver? Thanks guys!
