Hey head-fi, finally convinced one of my friend's to get a decent pair of headphones after a little session . So he told me to look for one and he would get it. Here are some requirements.
He will be using them for home and portable use with his phone or ipod but he does not care whether they are open or closed. They just need to not be big enough to be a hassle when lugged around. He is not willing to get any type of portable amp so that is out of the question. He is willing to get a cheap soundcard like the xonar dg though so that is in consideration. Musical choices are hip hop/rap, rock, EDM(drum and bass, dubstep, electronica), and some pop. He really likes bass a lot but does not want it to be muddy and overly boomy. Tightness and extension along with nice heft is what he is going for.
Price limit is stricly sub 200
So far the only headphone I can think of at the moment is the ultrasone hifi580. Help me out headfi
Oh and I know this is the full size section but iems are out of the question just incase you were curious.
