I'm a man and i need help. i have been looking for a new pair of headphones and the most i will spend is $300 USD. i want to know which is better for home use open or closed headphones? btw my house is silent 95% of the time so.... yeah. i have these sony mdr-xb500 and they make my ears sweat quickly (1 hour of use). i don't want that type of headphones. what i'm looking for most is comfort, sound quality don't care much for portability. i will be using these headphones for my desktop, tv and home console. also not planning on getting a amplifier anytime soon.
now, from what i have found these last 2 days is that most people keep saying senn HD598 is best then mad dog then akg then hifiman............ too many and still don't know which is which
if you must know i mostly listen to soundtracks without vocals(video games)
examples of no vocals
