Hello there,
I have searched the forums thoroughly over the last few days but I still haven't come to a decision yet. I did narrow my choice down to 3 hps.
Which are, as stated in the title, the M-Audio Q40s, Denon D2000s and BD DT 770 Pro. OR another hp!?
I made a list of things I find the most important, in order of importance
1. Excellent sq: Obviously..
2. Bass: I like full, deep bass.
3. Sound great unamped: I'm not going to buy an amp, atleast not in the near future. So they should sound excellent and loud enough unamped (I'll hook them up to an iPod).
4. Comfort: I should be able to wear them atleast 3 hours without any pain.
5. Durability: It's very important that the hps are well built. The previous (and first) hp I had literally fell apart after a month (they were Logitech NC hps). I'll carry them to school every day and when I don't use them they go in my backpack. Plus, I just like hp that feel sturdy & of high quality.
6. Minimal sound leakage: I take the bus to school everyday and I don't want to disturb people sitting around me.
7. Good isolation: I don't want to hear people talking on the bus either while I'm listening to music.
A few more things:
250$/150€ is the maximum amount I want to spend. I'll probably buy them from eBay, but new though!
Electronic music is my favorite type of music, hence the emphasis on bass. My favorite subgenres are: breakcore (Venetian Snares, Dev-Null, Otto Von Schirach, Doormouse), trip-hop (Amon Tobin, Bonobo, Mr Scruff, DJ Krush, DJ Food), drum & bass (various, I like dark d&b, like noisia, konflict).
I'm willing to do some diy on them if that would greatly improve the sq.
I hope you can give me some great advice so I can finally decide which hp I should buy. And enjoy the music.
