how's it going headfi, i'm new to the forums and I am currently in the market for a new set of headphones. It seems like everyone has a lot of knowledge here when it comes to headphones so I thought you guys would be able to help me out.
I'm not looking for anything out of this world, but something of good quality with a reasonable price. I'm willing to spend anywhere from $100-$300, best bang for the buck pretty much. I haven't had any hands on experience with any good headphones other than beats by dre that most of my friends swear by and a set of A30 headsets from astrogaming.com. The dre beats seem decent, but i've got the feeling that $300 is going mostly towards the name. In other words, they do not "wow" me at all. My astro gaming A30 headsets seem to sound just as good as the beats does.
I listen to a lot of 70s-80s punk rock music, old blues and seldomly some hip hop. It would be great if I can use them for gaming as well, something along the lines of surround sound. I want something with a VERY nice clean crisp sound with some bass. Bass isn't a really big thing for me, but it does sound better with some bass. Something better than dre beats, which I don't think should be too hard to find. It would be a definite plus if the headphones were portable with maybe a carrying case of some sort as I do travel and would like something strong and sturdy.
I have read about a few headsets but wasn't sure if they were actually good or not (don't really trust amazon reviews). A few of the headphones i've been looking at are the audio technica ath-m50s, phiaton's ms400, and sennheiser hd558s. Again, I don't know too much about headphones other than what i've read in reviews.
Thanks in advance.
