complete newbie here when it comes to headphones. Looking to upgrade from the pair apple give you and have tried beats for a while (30 mins) and found them way to bass heavy for me. I have been reading forums and other sites and think i have it down to 3 but not sure which would be best. From what i have read lots of people praise sennheiser headphones but every pair that i see look like crap (i know this shouldn't matter but quality design factors in for me).
1.Grado SR80i
2.RHA SA950i
3.AKG K240 studio
Music genres: I'd say 80% pop/indie rock (killers/shins/hold steady/decemberist/awolnation/neon indian), 15% oldies/rock 60's-80's like Paul Simon/janis joplin. 10% hiphop (jayz eminem No classical or metal.
Portable: yes (airplaine and biking/walking). will be used with iPhone 95% of the time (inline mic for calls would be great)
Price range: 150, but really trying for under 100.
Amped: i dont know what that means but probably no if its paired with iPhone.
Headphone preference: over the ears. I am not an audiophile by any means. I want to listen and enjoy the music, apple earbuds dont really bother me but i want to get something a bit better and i know beats are not for me either. Thanks
