I've been racking my brain for weeks/months trying to pick out my first set of headphones.
I do some research, like a pair, get to the checkout page...then I second guess myself and look at more reviews and other options.
I have been bouncing roughly 3 models around in my head and still cannot come to terms on which one I want as they all are appealing to me.
The 3 models in question:
Beyer DT770 Pro 80ohm
AKG K550
and a toss up between Shure SRH840 and Audio-Technica ATH-M50(s) - not same headphones but they are still on list.
They need to be closed-back, circumaural headphones. Provide good sound isolation and have minimal sound leakage.
I am not really a bass-head, so it is not at the top of my list. But do want some bass presence when I am watching movies and/or playing games. I down want the sound to be muddled but rather a sound than is clean and without one aspect overpowering another. Well-rounded I guess. I am not using audiphiliac lingo as I would not know which to use correctly.
I would be running them off my iPad or my receiver. I do not have a portable amp...yet.
Anyone willing to put me out of misery?
