I'm looking for a pair of headphones for my new computer. My setup will be a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and Klipsch 5.1s.
I need headphones mainly for listening to music - mostly mpc's, lame mp3's, and some ogg's. In other words, not 128 kbps xing mp3's or wma's. I may or may not use them for gaming.
Anyway, I had my heart set on a pair of Grado SR80s, but then started wondering about a few things. First of all, I heard they're good for rock music. But how do they do for jazz, ambient, trip-hop, or just general electronic music? I do listen to certain rock & metal, but many other genres including those ones. Would I be better off with something else?
So, I'm basically looking for something that's:
- not closed
- good for jazz, rock, metal, and electronica
- comfortable for at least a few hours
- doesn't need an amp
- good for gaming would be a plus, but not essential
are there special headphones out there just for me?
