Hello,
I've been looking around head-fi quite often and I need help picking a convincing headphone that will change my friend's choice.
His budget is about $300 CAD, today he went to apple store to buy the Dr.dre. I begged him to at least try out some headphone before he makes a final choice.
Luckily (or not so luckily) there was Sennheiser MM400 out to test and he (kind of) changed his mind about buying the Dr.Dre right now.
On the bus coming back, we discussed about what kind of music he likes and why he was so set on getting the Dre. He said that he loved the "overpowering booming sound (bass) in his head."
After about 20 minute talk on the bus, we departed and he went to his house and started to search about Sennheiser (it was good until here).
As a chain reaction, he found out about Grado, AKG, Audio-Technica, etc.
He is so convinced that he wants to buy one of Grado SR325, AKG K702, Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 (not really, I kept on mentioning about ultimate ears and I pretty sure his just saying it to "not get judged by me")
I mentioned that if he wants to use Grado or AKG he'll need an amp. Problem is that he doesn't even know what amp is and I'm pretty sure that he won't buy one.
So this is what I need help with, a closed headphone under $300 that can be worn outdoors without an amp. He likes Korean pop music and he loves strong bass. He would be either buying from Ebay or Amazon. (I know some people might say "just let him get Dr.Dre" but now his so set on either Grado or AKG)
Please help head-fi!
Thanks.
