Well, I'm back again looking for some headphone help.
Ok, as some of you may know, I've been trying out the Grado SR-80's for a little while now, and I've pretty much decided they aren't for me. I think they are too bright and forward for my tastes. I believe what I'm looking for is something that isn't as fatiguing and has more of a bass punch. I will be listening to all kinds of music types, but mainly hip hop and some pop music. These headphones will used in many different situations, including on the computer for gaming and mp3 playback, as well as on the go with my portable player. I plan on using them with an amp (yet to be purchased), so as far as I know, efficiency will not be a real issue. Closed vs. open doesn't really matter too much either, but I'd like something that doesn't leak as much as the Grado's. Originally I was hoping to spend under $100, but now I think I would be willing to spend a little more.
I've been reading good stuff about a few closed phones, namely the Sony MDR7506/V6 and the Beyerdynamic 250, 770, and 990. The Sennheiser 580's were suggested to me by a guy from Headroom, but some say they don't have much for bass. I've also heard the Denon series mentioned. Do you think I'm on the right track?
Thanks guys!
