Huge metalhead here. I'm into all metal, death, thrash, doom, black (all real metal, which discludes nu/core metal). I'm looking for a suitable portable headphone. I'm currently focused on two headphones, the Sennheiser Momentum and V-Moda M100. I already have nice at home headphones (the AKG K240), which are for home use only. They're alright, but I want headphones for on the go too.
I'm looking for:
Headphones suitable for metal
Isolation
Replaceable cable
suitable for long listening sessions (not too bright and fatiguing soundwise)
Also suitable for other forms of music (all kinds of music)
Un-amped
Circumaural
I don't want to over pay, and I don't want to sell myself short. I'm looking at around 300 dollars spending limit, perhaps more if there's a be all end all of headphones just a little bit higher (I can spare an allowance or two). I'd like to spend less than that though, maybe around 200. I just want to find something I like.
