First off let me say hello cause this is my first post of Head-fi. In my quest for better quality music listening pleasure i stumbled upon this website and ever since i found it my eyes have been opened! To cut to the point, since im very new to this whole hi end audio thing i need some help to find a good pair of headphones. ive been doing a bit of research here and on other websites along with going to Guitar Center and trying out a couple headphones. What im looking for is something in the price range of up to $300 USD. I figure with that budget i could get some really nice headphones that would be a HUGE step up from the crappy ipod buds that im using right now. I will mostly be using these either at home with my record player and stereo or at someplace like the library so im guessing fully open headphones wont really be the best thing. Allthough i was trying out some Beyer DT880 Pro's at GC and they were semi-open i believe the guy said. and they didnt leak very much sound at all at a pretty high volume.
I tend to listen to a lot of:
Classical/orchestral music in general
Techno/dance music
dubstep
bands like Metallica, System of a Down, Deftones, Tool, Rush, Opeth, and a ton of Punk/ska
so basically a lot.
After doing a bit of research of my own ive narrowed it down to three possibilities that i think i would like based on what ive read.
1. Beyerdynamic DT880 (whats the difference between the "Premium" and "Pro"?)
2. Ultrasone HFI-2400
3. Denon AHD2000
If anyone has any good information on any of these in relation to how they do against each other that would be excellent. or if you know anything else around their price range which would be better suited for me im open to other options!
sorry for the extremely long post.
