I am looking for a pair of headphones to listen to the above music genres (for example - I listen to Lostprophets, Disturbed, Avenged sevenfold, but I do also listen to stuff like Coldplay and Keane)
I would set a price range of £120, but to be fair I don't want anything too cheap. I can get a (cheap*) portable amp, and will be listening through them on a coach, so preferably closed headphones.
*by this I mean a FiiO E5/6 (if you can suggest a better portable amp for the same price range (up to £40), please do but I don't want to be spending a lot of money on these)
So far I have done a bit of web searching and have got some ideas of what I'm looking for:
- SHURE SRH 440/840 (not sure on the benefits of the 840 though)
- I have heard that GRADO do good headphones (I heard that the SR80i are good)
- Wasn't too sure but I heard a few things about Sennheiser 83555's (but everything I read said the above two are better)
(please correct anything wrong with the above
I don't need anything with bass, but if it can at least play it without distortion that would be good (although said, this is probably the least important thing that I am looking for, so feel free to overlook this part
I would prefer to have pads that fit around my ear, not on them as I will be using these for up to 1:30-2:30 hours twice a day, and for pretty much everything else that requires headphones/listening to music.
I am open to any answers (to be fair I am new to all this audiophile business, so (if possible) please don't use word that I won't understand
Many thanks
