New to the world of head Fi and don't quite know all the terms yet but I believe I am looking for a pair of circumaural headphones, by which I mean surrounding my ears with minimal or no touching.
Priorities.
1. Comfort. If anyone has felt the base AE2 or AE2i models, I'm looking for that level of ear surrounding comfort. I wear headphones around 6 hours per day, and on ear headphones just won't cut it. Over ear over all.
2. Sound. Need a good all rounder, need good bass and vocal clarity. Nothing extreme, just something good at everything.
3. Price. Not spending more than 150. Broke college student been saving for quite a while.
Wants.
Good isolation. Want something that doesn't leak sound and keeps outside noise to a minimum.
Durability. Want these to last a while, two years or more.
Portability. Folding for travel would be a huge plus. But would rather have comfortable isolation.
Currently considering:
Sennheiser HD-280's
Creative Aurvana live!'s
Audio technica ATH-M50's/M30's
Open to suggestions. Thanks for reading!
