Hello everyone, I'm interested in buying a pair of headphones.
I have zero clue which are generally considered "the best" and "the worst", so I'm looking for some guidance and recommendations.
I had a pair of IE8 IEM's, and they got wrecked, but while I had them I loved them, but wanted to try something different this time.
Deep bass is a necessity as I listen to a bit of Drum and Bass and hip-hop, but they also need to be crisp and clean (Not muddy) as I listen to quite a bit of modern classical, piano, etc.
As well as alternative, indie,folk, etc... I want to be able to distinguish each instrument easily. Sorry I can't really describe what I'm really looking for more specifically, I'm not good with the terminology.
Not too sure how much isolation headphones have or can have, but not much is needed since I will generally only be using them at home. But with that said I would prefer not to buy a pair that needs an amp, unless there is a really good and cheap portable one. I'll also probably being wearing them for long periods of time, so them being comfy is needed (I have Tritton AX 720's which I use for my 360 and PS3, and I can wear those all day long without feeling a thing, so you can use them as reference)
And I would prefer it to be 200 dollars or less, although I can go up to 300 if there is really that much of a difference in terms of quality and comfort.
Sorry for this being a bit lengthy but I just want to get the best pair for my needs.
Thanks in advance everyone.
