Hello everyone!
So, I have lurked here for about 2 weeks. Learned alot of things, and I feel dizzy current because my head is swimming with so much new knowledge. However lets get to the problem at hand...
I am looking for a new set of headphones. However, I already have a less than stellar set for gaming, and just the size and feel of them have made me want to upgrade my less than stellar, more like crappy Logitech iBuds. I am currently using... *gulp* the Creative Fatal1ty headset for my primary headphones.
Amazon.com: Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset: Electronics
Now please go easy on me, these... while good for gaming and producing pretty good sound *I really dont know* just don't cut it for music. So I am looking for something with about the same head profile. But I am not looking for gaming, again I am looking for music headphones.
I am torn between a 70 dollar set of SR-60's // SR-80s, (don't really know the difference between them), and going just way overboard, and getting something like the HD-600's. I am also interested in somewhere in between. I don't think I care weather they are closed or they are open cans. I have used a set of Sony 7506's in the past, and they are just a but to small on my huge / over sized melon. I also have the curse of fairly large ears, so they seem to sit ON my ears, not so much around them.
I listen to music such as
Pop / Alt Rock (Green Day / Zebrahead) Metal (Megadeth, Newer Anthrax, Tool) Female fronted metal (Nightwish / Elis / Within Temptation) and softer rock (Tom Petty, Beatles, Dylan).
Heres a small list of the phones I am coinsering in a loose order from strong to
weak
HD555's / HD600's
SR 60/80
SR 225's
K702's
HD595's
7506
What I will be driving the final choice out of is in order of use
Ipod Tocuh 16G
A PCI-E Creative X-fi
PSP.
I am certain a single smaller amp of SOME kind is in my future. How soon depends on the choice made here.
So looking at my music taste, and the fact that I would prefer 1/8 over 1/4 as the primary plug, usage consideration, and what I will using it off of... I would for the most part like to drop less than 200 bucks on the choice.
What do you recommend?
