Sorry if this is a repeated/useless thread, this is my first thread as Im new. I have tried to do a bit of research before posting but due to my lack of knowledge on headphones I am still clueless. All I know is that headphones can be better than earphones, hence me wanting to get a good pair.
I do not have a budget really, as I am and will continue saving up to get some headphones but going hugely over £200 is a bit too much I guess. I listen to mostly rap/hip hop and R&B. Also I listen to a lot of soul, ballads ... that type of stuff. Sometimes also dubstep, dance, pop e.t.c. Judging from this I'm guessing I need headphones that are pretty expensive as they cannot lack in low's, mid's or high's. I think I'd prefer the high to be crisp rather than dull, and pretty good low's so the bass doesn't dominate the music unless it should do.
At the moment my setup will just be a cowon s9. I will be using these headphones a lot at home, but also when travelling to school so I'll need portable headphones. After reading a few threads I've come to understand I should buy an amp after buying headphones - so if you have any suggestions for portable amps that will go well with the headphones please say. I'm looking for a possible portable amp as well because after reading a few threads I think that despite cowon s9's superb sound quality their bass can be better and a portable amp can still improve the sound. I don't understand the setup of amp's but again have read that cowon doesn't have a line out - but that is irrelevant as a amp can still be used for its purpose.
Sorry if I have got things wrong or if I end up asking loads of questions - I know it can be frustrating for you.
