I've recently been able to finally start spending on audio equipment (computer-based setup), and so have been looking to upgrade my setup. A set of KRK rokit 5's were handed off to me by a friend, and I thought it was a good enough reason to invest in a nice sound card, so I've bought myself a Xonar Essence STX.
As for my needs, they are perhaps too plentiful. I produce music casually at home, so that the rokits as monitors seemed sufficient for that. My current headphones seem very lackluster though, being a set of Bose On-Ear Headphones (as far as I can tell, that's their full name). As I am doubtful of being able to find a jack-of-all-trades set for both production and listening at this price range, I want to replace these with headphones focused on music.
My music tastes are mostly in classical and electronic (electronic ranging from psychedelic trance to ambient music such as biosphere). Though I listen to much more, I would prefer a focus on these, with orchestral music being the primary aim.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. If not suggestions of specific headsets, then some reading material that would help me decide or further understand what to look for in headphones (or other devices that might be worth investing in) would be greatly appreciated!
