HI I'm looking for some headphones in the £50 to £100 price range for use with my Macbook Air/iPod/iPad. These will only be used at home almost exclusively for listening to music but with the possibility of gaming use, although gaming sound quality isn't that much of a concern to me.
While I enjoy a large selection of musical genres I tend to favour the following artists and genres;
Progressive Rock (The Mars Volta, early King Crimson, Jethro Tull)
Post-Rock (This Will Destroy You, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mount Zion, Explosions in the Sky)
Delta Blues ( Son House, Little Walter)
and artists such as: Animal Collective/Panda Bear, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jaga Jazzist, Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Ratatat, Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd, Battles, Hella/Zach Hill, Seasick Steve.
As you can tell enhanced Bass isn't overly important to me as I wouldn't want it to distract from small subtleties typical of larger ensembles. That being said I don't want Kick Drums to sound muffled.
Edit: It may be worth noting that I mainly listen to Apple Lossless and 320kbps.
