I'm new but have been reading for several days to try to find some headphones for my office at work.
Listen to:
- Mostly
- alternative rock
- rock
- talk radio
- Sometimes
- rap
- top 40
Cost requirements:
- None really, since I will be using them on a daily basis I dont mind spending extra to get something nice (< $700)
Other requirements:
- Must be quite due to office cube work environment
- Will be running off a XM portable radio
- Must be comfortable, I work long days and plan to have them on for a while
- Isolation is important but not at the cost of comfort
Cans I have listened to so far:
- I haven't been able to find any local retailers of any high end stereo equipment in my area so I haven't been able to listen to much first hand (Hampton Roads, VA)
- Bose Triport, like how they felt and how isolated they were... I thought they sounded pretty good but have never listened to a good set of cans before though.
The cans that I am interested in so far are:
- AT A900
- Ultrasone HFI 650
- Ultrasone Proline 750
- Senns 280 Pro
- AKG 271 Studio
I noticed that all of these cans are old > 2 yrs... are there not any good cans on the market that have been released on the last 6 months? Just surprised they don’t get updated very often.
Thanks a lot, you have a great site here...
