My Beats Solo snapped recently, and I'm looking for a replacement. So here I am asking for recommendations. I really loved my Beats, but after servicing me for quite some time, it is time for it to retire.
Budget: Up to $200, but the lower the better.
Intended usage: General, average-person usage for movies and music. Long hours of usage every day is expected.
Location of usage: Mostly only at home. I normally settle with my more discrete Apple EarPods when going out for short travels. But for longer travels, I will use the better one. Less sound leak is preferable, but not necessary.
Equipment: HP Pavilion dv6 Series laptop with Beats audio and iPhone 5.
Additional information: (1) It has to be comfortable for long hours of use. For comparison purposes, when I was using my Beats, my ears would hurt after hours of usage. For EarPods, it hurts the insides of my left (right side is fine) ear only after about 30 to 60 minutes of usage. (2) I value aesthetics. However, I do not like "flashy" headphones. I think simplistic designs, mesh-designs or wood-designs look nice. In general, a timeless piece.
Thanks in advance!
