Hi everyone,
After much aural suffering, I've decided to take a step into higher quality audio. I'm looking for some advice on a reasonably nice set of headphones, mostly for portable music (not so much gaming), preferably ones that don't NEED an amp, but will sound better with one later.
Criteria:
~Must be in the $50-70 range. I'm in college and I'm not the most trusting individual... if these get stolen, I don't want to be out hundreds of dollars.
~Must be circumaural. I wear a hearing aid, so something that just sits on my ears won't help me much, and I do NOT want earbuds of any kind.
~I'd like some headphones that don't NEED an amp right away (but I'd like to try my hand at building one later).
I've been looking at some Sennheiser HD485 and HD205s... can anyone offer any input on these?
Thank you for your assistance!
