Hi guys
I'm hoping some of you can nudge me in the direction of my next set of headphones.
I'm pretty amateur at this stuff, so please excuse the language and lack of knowledge.
I'm currently on Senn HD25s.
I listen to Trance most of the time, so am looking for equivalent or better sound quality but would like to gain a bigger sound space in my head if that makes any sense ?
I don't want headphones that let out a lot of sound ideally, as I often use them whilst the missus is watching tv.
Source tends to be a laptop more than anything, so not amped.
An amp might be an option in the future but not right now as I work in an environment where no usb devices are permitted, and since most the little amps seem to have a USB port its out for now. I may get one in the future for home.
Ideally not spending more than around $300 (£200).
From reading around this site for some time it looks like I should be looking at :
Audio-Technica ATH M50
Denon AH-D2000
Ultrasone HFI 580
Beyerdynmic DT 990 PRO
Would you say this is a best choice?
I doubt very much I'm gonna be able to try many, if any of these out, so any pointers would be great.
