Hey guys,
I've put up several posts regarding headphones and I've gotten nowhere. Here's what I need from a headphone.
Budget: $300 max
Open/Close: no preference; I would guess closed because it takes care of the bass but open cuz it takes care of highs
Style: around the ear (but actual around the ear, not ones that sit on your ear)
Music: I like to hear everything from my music including the subtle noises from music like jazz. That being said I also have songs that are bass heavy so I'd like to take care of that.)
I also don't know much about ohms. Basically I'll be using them with my laptop and music player. I can buy a portable amp for it if
it'll help.
I like to have the leather ear buds rather than cloth. I'm just assuming that cloth will get hot after long periods of use (7hrs max) I had the Bose Triports and I loved the soft and comfy ear buds. Sounds was pretty good too. Although a little light on the bass. I had to use my phone's "bass equalizer" to boost it.
Cord: Single sided preferrably detachable
I've looked at a lot of dj/reference headphones but am so confused. I'll find a perfect one and then I'll read reviews saying they suck in the treble and others saying they suck in the bass. I'm lost.
Can anyone suggest headphones to me?
The problem is where I am, the stores around me don't offer much of a selection of headphones so I'll have to order them online.
Oh and I also heard some headphones offer a "surround sound" type of listening.
I hope this is a fun challenge for some.
Thanks very much for your help
