Ok, so I came to this site for some recommendations. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to headphones/earphones because I still listen to my apple stock earbuds.I'm going to buy my first pair of serious headphones/earphones ever and would love some suggestions. I've been lurking about and found some brands. Grado, Audio Technica, AKG, Shure, Koss, and Seiniesser. I want to know a couple things about being a headphone hobbyist.
-What are amps? Why do you need them with your headphones? Is it necessary to buy one? If so, what would be a good buy? (don't care about price)
- Why do some people prefer the sound of, lets say an example: Grado SR80 to the sound of the Grado 325i? What would be the things to look for?
K, those are the things I needed to know. Now I need some suggestions. It needs to be under $500, a little more if needed. Good looks, comfy, and good bass. Any suggestions would be awesome!
Oh, and on a side note, a buddy of mine is looking for a new pair too and is looking for some headphones that are under $100, sound isolation (closed, i think) , good looks, and great bass.
Any suggestions for one of them would be awesome!
Many thanks!
