HELP!
I have been hanging around Head-Fi for awhile now and am finally ready to take the plunge. However, with nowhere locally to audition any audiophile grade equipment, and so many options to choose from, I need HELP!! I have compiled the following list of headphones that seem well regarded and fit in my price range (some are new, some are used). I listen to a wide variety of music (rock, trip-hop, classical, folk, instrumental) so I would like a good all-purpose set of cans. I don't care is they are open or closed, and they don't need to be portable, I am simply looking for the best all around headphones to start my addiction (err..collection) with. I know that there are probably some very good headphones that I have left of the list so please feel free to make additional recommendations as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
AKG K240
AKG K401
Alessandro MS-1
ATH A500
Beyerdynamic DT250-80
Pioneer SE-Monitor10r
Sennheiser HD280 Pro (or Silver, what's the difference?)
Sennheiser HD555
Thanks!
P.S. - I should add that $130 is the most I would have to spend for any of the above mentioned headphones and that is my upper limit.
