I've been using crappy $5 headphones for a while(and gone through about 5 of them in a year or two). I've decided that since I can end up listening to music for 5-10 hours a day to make otherwise boring tasks/things related to work fun, it's about time I get something decent.
I have a $300 budget. Willing to go a bit over, but I'd really prefer not to. If it's just like $20 extra and gets me something a lot better, though, then sure. I want comfortable, long-lasting headphones that cancel a bit of noise, but not too much. I don't want to have to hear the TV in the background, but I want to be able to hear if someone is trying to talk to me or get my attention. I also want headphones that make little to no noise to those around me as sometimes I like to turn it up a bit and I don't want other people to have to deal with it. I'd prefer something that doesn't absolutely destroy my ears over time, at least not more than regular headphones would.
I primarily listen to rock, metal, eurobeat, and occasionally some techno/trance/house/elektro/anything with a beat. Really, I like quite a wide variety of music, but those are the main ones. Rock/Metal and beats.
The only thing I'm really picky about is comfort. If the headphones are uncomfortable, I just don't wanna wear em, ruining the point of having them. Not that picky about anything else except headphones that damage your ears a lot over time, but I assume anyone who makes headphones for more than $20 has already taken this into account. Oh, and if they're good for FPS games, that's a bonus, but not really much of a factor. I can definitely live without it.
Sorry for kinda wanting a lot of stuff, but with all the headphones out there, I'm sure there's at least one that fits what I want.
