Hey guys, i was planning on getting external speakers to use with my imac but figured i could some great headphones instead.
I'm currently looking at the Beats, the DT770 and the DT880 but also the Sure 840 and Audio-Technica M50. You can tell already how confused I am. I listen mostly to alternative music (smashing pumpkins, NIN, radiohead etc..) and chillout music as well as bass heavy trance. I had previously tried the Beats before i liked them mostly for the powerful lows and the fact they had a built in amp. But, i thought they were a bit overpriced and read a lot of people complaining about the build quality.
I've always had my eyes on the beyerdynamic headphones but I live in Kuwait and so can't try the various models out and choose one. Actually from all the headphones I've mentioned only the Beats are available here everything else I need to order from Amazon.
So my question would be what headphone can I get which I can power from my iMac and has a great soundstage but still has powerful lows? The only issue i have with getting a headphone amp is financial and not practical reasons or anything like that. I just have a budget of around 250$ to spend on this. I have a FiiO E5 Headphone Amplifier if that helps.
thanks
