I just found a new job doing repair work and i'm looking forward to buying a new pair of headphones to travel with my work station. I need to be able to hear the phone, so i'm leaning towards an open design. My coworkers use speakers so i'm sure it won't be an issue and non-ear bleed levels should be easy enough.
County - USA
Budget - $150 - $250
Source - Sager laptop with X-Fi 3, Galaxy S6 would be a plus but not absolutely required.
Previously Owned - Grado SR80i & Alessandro MS2i
Preferred Style - Open, detachable cables is a plus.
Preferred Genre - Metal, alt, and classic rock primarily
Willing to add an external dac / amp at some point if needed, along the lines of the Schiit Fulla. Currently eyeballing the Grado SR225 / (used) SR325, Sound Magic HP-200, Fidelio X2, and Sennheiser HD598. I've been out of the game for a while so i'd love to hear your thoughts. I unfortunately do not have any local shops to try before I buy them.
