I know, I can use the search function and I'm doing that right now, but it would still be nice to get some direct input on this.
Just going to copy & paste from reddit, not looking for anything better than what I've used, just something good since my F38s broke. I also don't care much about size, as long as they don't leak.
Budget - Under $50
Source - Sansa Fuze
Requirements for Isolation - I'd really like to avoid leaking, don't want anyone to hear me listen to my weeaboo tunes.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear, comfortable. I prioritize sound quality over comfort. I'm okay with somewhat not comfortable headphones right now, as long as I can easily swap out the pads in the future.
Preferred tonal balance - Not too bass heavy, I guess. If there isn't anything that matches this in the price range, I'm okay with any sound signature.
Preferred Music - Whenever this is asked I never really know what to say. Have my genre/tag cloud on last.fm: http://i.imgur.com/dGPGhci.png & http://www.last.fm/user/OptimaShift
Past headphones
Incipio F38 - Clone of Brainwavz hm3/Fischer Audio FA-004, was fine with them in terms of sound signature until they broke ;_;. They weren't really the most comfortable, but they were tolerable.
MDR-7506 - thought they sounded lifeless and anemic, stock pads made my ears sweat.
HD555 foam modded so I guess HD595 - The veil that a lot of people seem to talk about annoyed me, soundstage and comfort was nice though.
Thinksound TS02 - Silibant and harsh, IEMs always seem to feel uncomfortable as well.
Sextett K240 dunno what production unfortunately, I think they were LPs - Really awesome in terms of mids, treble and soundstage, just wished it had a bit more bass and was more comfy.
Takstar HI-2050 - Great overall, really don't have any complaints. If only they didn't leak sound...
Thanks for anyone who helps me!
