Hi there!
New to this excellent forum. I am a regular iPod and laptop user who decided to discard my ear buds and now look for a solid pair of larger phones, opened or closed. Primary use is longer trips and casual listening, so comfort is very important (cushions). Also, i do have a smaller than average sized head which should be taken into consideration.
I have done a good amount of research and found myself pleased with sennheisers range of phones. Particularly these models are interesting at the moment: the hd280 pro, 380 pro, 555, and 595. Since i am a newbie however i dont intend to spend too much, a maximum budget of $120 is set.. Also should be added that i will not be using an amp.
I listen to all kinds of music, but primarily rock and pop. I'm not a bass-head but do appreciate great sound listening which probably is why I have started to lean towards the Senns. (however, I have read terrific reviews about AKGs, Beyers and Grados, but the first two seem too expensive and the Grados feel somewhat uncomfortable).
Would someone be able to help me further in this matter? I am really excited about my future phones and willing to do extensive research in order to find the best fit!
ThAnk you all ,and please come back to me with your advice and experiences! I will be reading the forums meanwhile!
