Hello all!
I'm upgrading from my Superlux 668B and Audio Technica MSR7 duo to something different. I have another set of headphones I use for monitoring duty (Because I'm part of a podcast and I help with it). So I wanted to have another set for gaming, music, and general use. I use a Vmoda mic, so having compatibility with that would be really, really nice.
Budget: $150 USD
Source: Laptop (Though I am considering getting a DAC)
Use: Listening to music, videos, and gaming
Tonal Balance: I do tend to like the U/V shaped stuff. I had a bad experience with the AKG M220 not having enough bass for my liking so I'm slightly weary of headphones with super flat curves.
Genre: Mostly EDM, some Rock occationally.
Old Gear Goods and Bads: 668B and MSR7s were both pleasant and fun to listen to. The MSR7s were usually very comfortable, which was great. I had the AKG M220, who had a soundcurve which was not to my liking but they were comfortable at least.
Headphones I'm looking at: I thought the Philips Fidelio X2HR was the best headphone for me, but the reviews vary a lot. I wasn't sure if there was anything else I could use. Unfortunately all the Monoprice headphones use two wires. The K7XX is a possibility but would require some sort of converter. There's some Sennheisers that could work though.
Hopefully that's enough detail! Thanks for your help!
