I'm going off too college in a few months, and want to bring headphones along for those times when my roommates don't want my speakers to be on. I'd prefer to spend under/up to $100, but of course, if you have a good suggestion that is a few dollars over, feel free to post it. I don't have any particular requirements in terms of open/closed headphones, over ear/in ear; all I want is comfort, and the best sound quality based on the kind of sound I prefer.
I listen to a lot of trance and electronic music. However, I also enjoy rap, funk, jazz, folk, indie, and other genres. Aside from a good overall sound quality, I'd like headphones that have a good amount of bass. They don't have to be overpoweringly bassy, but I'd like them to have a decent amount of bass without the need to EQ it up too much. In terms of the bass, I suppose that punch is more important than extension, but it'd be great if the headphones could hold an extended bass frequency at decent volume as well. All in all, I like a clear sound (alright if it's colored, as long as it's still nicely accurate) and good bass.
I have a Sony 2.1 receiver with a 1/4" stereo output. Will this drive the headphones alright?
Thus far I'm looking at the Klipsch S4 and the Sennheiser HD 555 (which I hear doesn't have too much bass; could I EQ it up to a good level?). Are those good starting points?
If you guys have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it! Also if there's anything more I can do to describe the type of sound I want, please prompt me, thanks.
