I can't believe it is so difficult to find the right pair of 'phones. Please help me out.
I bought the head-direct RE2's. I'm a total noob and didn't know about analytical sounding phones. They are pretty good but do not compliment all my genres of music.
They sound too flat and lacking in bass for my alternative, rock, and electronica. Really clear and good for classical, fingerstyle guitar, flamenco, piano intrumental, and acoustic. However, that isn't all I listen to.
I am looking for CLOSED headphones. I have never worn a pair of headphones that were open that were comfortable. Also, I spend a lot of time at the library and stuff so I can't have them leak all over the place.
This is what I'm looking for:
- closed phones, cupped, supra aural, whatever it is called (need to be comfortable like audio technica, senn's, bose)
- Less than $135 (never in my life have i expected to spend this much money on headphones. I see where the slogan comes from)
- Warm or neutral sounding.
- I'm looking for a good OVERALL sound. I want my music to sound full.
- I like bass but everything else shouldn't be sacrificed for it.
- ( Clarity and everything else)/ (bass) ratio should be 65%/35%. I would say the RE2's are 90%/10%
- Honestly, I thought the $150 Bose I tried were fine but I would like to get a good value.
- They must not break too easily. I would be quite careful with them but I'm not the obessive type. Hopefully they can last 3 years.
- Chord length does not matter too much. Zune usage/ Plug into comp.
- I don't care about looks at all. If they are comfortable, sound great, and don't break on me... I would wear it in hot pink with unicorns on it.
- I listen to acoustic, classical, fingerstyle, instrumentals, alternative, rock, a lil bit of electronica. Some examples would be Tommy Emmanuel, Blink 182, Staind, Postal Service, and Dave Matthews Band.
I've been looking at ratings for too long. Hopefully this would be a better way of getting the "one".
Thank you so much. This forum has shown me the light of listening to music and becoming broke.
