Hey, my old ear buds are starting to break down and I've decided to look at full size headphones. Now don't get me wrong, I've done tons of research, but I need some help deciding or some new suggestions. Here is all the potential candidates for new headphones I'm looking at in order from most potential buy to least:
Shure SRH440 Professional Studio Headphones (Black)
Creative Aurvana Live! Headphones
I have been judging the headphones based off of amazon reviews, but it would be nice if I could get some advice from people who actually knew what they were talking about. So if you could help me decide or have any new suggestions that would be great. If you're going to suggest new headphones here is my criteria:
1. Some bass, but also [size=12.0pt]relatively wide range.[/size] I listen to mostly rock and a little rap so bass is appreciated, but not to the point where it overwhelms all the other sound.
2. I am going to use these ridding the bus so noise leakage is a HUGE problem for me because I don't really want the person sitting next to me to hear my music so I am definitely leaning to closed back headphones.
3. Clarity. The thing I hate most about my ear buds now is that the music is muddy and sometimes I can't distinguish one instrument from another and a great song instantly becomes unbearable to listen to.
4. Design. I have to carry these thing around everywhere, but I do have an extremely large backpack so portability is not that big of a concern, but it is appreciated. Mostly, I just want some good looking headphones I can wear in public, but this is not at the very top of my list of concerns.
5. Price. I am on a really tight budget right now so please, nothing above $100.
Thanks for your input and if you have anything to say about the SRH440's that would also be great because those are the headphones I am leaning towards right now.
