Hello. I hate being one to make another of these threads; I know these sorts of questions are asked a lot, but I do need some help from those with far more knowledge on the subject than I have. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not an audiophile, least not yet, but have finally chosen to venture into the world of high quality audio. I'm looking for some affordable (would prefer to keep under $200) phones for both home and portable use. Headphone size isn't that important, but since I'll be using them outside the home, I'd like them to be closed and circumaural without a lot of sound leakage. Comfort is also important. I plan on picking up a cMoy, as well, to get started.
I will be using these mostly for gaming and music, but also some movie-watching. I listen to a lot of electronic/trance/dance, metal, rock, and alternative, as well as a bit of orchestral. I've done some searching, but am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of choices and info out there. For the moment, I've got my eyes on the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro-80, but I don't know if they're best for all the types of music I listen to. I welcome all comments and suggestions.
