I currently own a pair of HD280s - and while I do like them, I'd like to use them at work, and get a new pair for at home.
At home, I use my headphones for gaming, some movies, and a wide range of music - ranging from classical, to stuff like Radiohead, Muse and some harder stuff. I'm willing to pay at most 200 USD, I'd prefer 150 or lower.
As for open vs closed - I like closed in that I don't have to hear the noise around me; however my HD280s can feel a bit uncomfortable if I'm wearing glasses instead of contacts.
I've been eyeing the HD555s, but the HD595s seem to cost extra for very little gain. I've seen the beyerdynamic 770s recommended, but how good are they in terms of sound, esp for stuff like classical music? Do they have TOO much bass? How are they fit wise? I've also seen the Grado SR60s recommended - how do they compare (they aren't circumaural though, right?)
What other recommendations might you guys have?
Thanks!
