Hello Head-Fi,
I just started my second year of college, and I'm having some trouble looking for and deciding on a pair of good headphones to use in my apartment. I'm currently using an old Creative HS-980 headset for everything, and it just isn't cutting it for me anymore.
They'll mainly be plugged into my computer (onboard SoundMax AD2000b), but I'll also be using it with my Peavey amp for practicing guitar. I mostly listen to metal (mainly symphonic stuff), and will also be gaming on my off time. Comfort is also a huge factor, since I'll be having these on for long periods of time. I'm also looking for something that can at least somewhat block out ambient noise, so I can keep the volume down.
I've been looking at a lot of Sennheiser stuff, but again, I'm having a hard time determining which ones are best and most comfortable for the price, and for what I will be using them for. Can you guys help me out and throw some recommendations my way? I know I said $50 budget, but I'm a little flexible on that, and I am willing to spend a little more for something better suited. My max price would probably be about $70.
Thanks!
