Hi, obviously I'm new to high end audio because I made this thread and just joined the forum
At first before I really wanted to buy some headphones I started asking friends for advice.. After the usual "buy beats" I gave up on asking real life friends and tried to do my own research online. I was looking around and found some headphones... The Pioneer HDJ-1000s... The looks of it were nice, from the online pictures it seemed Strong and Sturdy... I couldn't figure out if it was metallic or plastic. BUT I wasn't ready to drop 150 dollars on it though. I googled some reviews and ended up here where I had people saying how those headphones weren't worth it so now I'm back to square one. I've looked through a thousand brands and have no clue what I want to buy.
I am attending university and I will mainly use these headphones for Video/Audio editing, Music listening, and Gaming. I listen to Hard Rock \ Metal. Aswell as alot of hardcore electronic. Like The Prodigy, Pendulum, Blue Stahli, Pendulum, and Crystal Method. Basically all the music that you would hear in an action movie trailer.
So I wanted to know if there were any headphones that could really rock and be very well built (hopefully not plasticy) that could would last a while... for under $200 dollars. Thanks guys!
PS: I can't use on-ear headphones because I wear them for literally 4-8 hours a day and those hurt my ears
