hello all,
As the title says, I'm in the market for a set of new headphones. My previous ones were the Koss KTX Pro, and I'd like something a bit higher quality. Being new to headphones (other than the bundled one), I'm not really sure what to be looking for. I'd like to spend less than $75 (possibly up to $100) on a set that will work for home and portable use. As far as sound quality, I just want something that has good, deep bass (not muddy or too boomy) and that doesnt have a lot of distortion, either. I've been looking at the Sennheiser 400 series (namely the 457, 477, and 497), but I'm afraid that these won't work as well without an amp. I would not be adverse to purchasing a high-quality amp, but (1) they seem to be very expensive and (2) i'm guessing an amp would rule out the portability of the headphones. Can anyone help give my search some direction???
