So I now use Sony V150, I was kinda happy using that headphone - until one day there's a small crack in the plastic... one week later, it turns bigger.. and the rest is history
Anyway, I always thought that this headphone is decent enough for me, well... compared to my Dell Inspiron 8600 speaker ^^
So at first I want to buy Sony EX71 for like 30-40 dollars. But when I try to find a good deal in slickdeals, one guy refer to this forum. And as I read all this discussion, I realized that headphone is a serious matter! I have to ask around before I bought my first decent headphone (as v150 is.. crap?
Oh well, so please give me suggestion on what kind of headphone I should buy. My budget is around 60 dollars, and I listen to wide range of music. Most of my music are new-age (like Secret Garden, Yanni.. ), jpop/jrock/anime stuff (some ppl say that this is *crap* music, but somehow I like them alot.. so please don't hate me?), jazz, easy listening, pop and classic. I rarely listen to hiphop song, and rap is totally no for me. At first I think about getting Grado SR60, but this is an open headphone. Is there really such a big different on sealed and open headphone?
The other thing is that I plan to plug them to my laptop, an Inspiron 8600 with (I think) AC 97 internal soundcard. Do I need to also buy an amp/external sound card? If you have limited budget, what will you get?
I think that's all for now.. thank you for all your suggestion.
PS:sorry for my bad engrish
