Well I'll start with a basic introduction, my folks educated me enough to skip this part.
My name is Nik, I'm a 20 year old living in Israel.
I found this site yesterday, when asked my friend who is a amatuer DJ if he can help me find a good on-ear headphones and he said that this is the ultimate place to find an answer, so here I am.
Before registration I checked the site, looked up on some threads and here are my thoughts so far:
1. Up to this day, I was thinking I'm as close as it possible to know everything there is to know about headphones. Right now, I just realize how dumb it is. Yeah my friend and the people around me doesn't understand anything about music and headphones, but owning a few Skullcandy's and Sony's aren't enough to think that I already know almost everything.
In short, I've just realized how much I didn't know about my hobby.
2. This place is not just a selling forum like I thought, It's a huge community that I'd try to become a part of it. Up till now I've never encountered anyone with whom I can share my hobby with.
3. I hope you guys will welcome me here, as knowledgeless as I might be
So... Now for the second part, the thing that brought me here.
As I said, I live in Israel, and as anything else here, the headphones market is really shallow and everybody just use basicly the same gear.
Most of the people here think that Dr. Dre's Beats are the best headphones out there in the whole world, even though I tried way better stuff (Personally I don't like Beats, don't get offended by me)
So my father decided to make a trip to Canada, and asked me what I would want for a souvenire, so I replied "Headphones".
Up till now, I had the following pieces - Skullcandy's HUSH and HUSH 2 and the Skullcrashers, and currently I own Sony though I don't know the model and it's 3am here so I won't start digging the internet for the model. If I need to rate my enjoyment scale from those 4 pieces it would be - the HUSH as 1st(probably because they were the first I've tried) then the Sony as 2nd, the Skullcrashers as 3rd and finally the HUSH 2 in the 4th place.
Right now I'm searching for a new headphones, as my father in Canada can buy me another set and it will be much more cheaper than buying it here in Israel.
I own a Smartphone - HTC One X, which is my main source of music, and a basic laptop (My phone gives better quality to the same songs than the laptop for some reason, prob. because the ****ty soundcard?)
I am always on the move, riding busses a lot (My job requires long distance travels by train and bus daily so that's pretty much the time I listen to music), so I guess I need a headphones for my phones and one's that can be used outside of the house.
I dislike, highly dislike, in-ear headphones, can't really explain why, just don't like them. So I need a suggestion for a piece of headphones On-Ear/Over-Ear(what's the difference if there is any?) that will be great for listing music while raiding in a train or a bus.
I've read some articles and I understand that it'll be better to summarize the following things:
Favourite kind of music - Mostly Psychedelic Trance and Some Dubstep and Metal,
Prefered price - around 100$~250$ (US one's as I sent my father 250 US $ for this porpuse)
Prefered style - On-Ear Headphones
Music source - HTC One X smartphone, no amp's and the such(I have no idea what those are)
P.S.
A friend recommended AKG K701, but a little research show'd me that it's more for Studio and DJ's than for music listening via HTC. But I really really really liked the idea that each side has 6 little speakers inside the headphones for a surround effect.
If there are any pieces that has the same effect and goes well with my needs, by all means - please give priority for those.
I hope you guys will help me, and the faster the better actually because my father is schedualed to come back in a week and I need to give him a few options to buy as fast as possible.
Thanks a lot!
