I want a good pair of headphones for home use around the aforementioned price range. Can be open or closed, but I prefer open. No guarantees I'm going to buy these soon, but I want a few good suggestions. I listen to a lot of rock - primarily grunge and hard rock. There's some electronic rock in my library, as well, such as Muse and Radiohead. I value clarity and detail, so a neutral headphone would be nicer than a warmer headphone. If anything has to be elevated, I want it to be the mids. Velour pads are preferable for the sake of comfort, but I'm not overly concerned with. Again, these are for home use, so comfort is key. I'm using Fidelio X1s, which I'm in love with, but I want something that's a step up. I have sensitive ears, so sibilance outright ruins music for me. If an amp is necessary, that's fine. I'll be using it with onboard audio from my PC most of the time, but if I need to buy a dedicated amp, I'm alright with that. I'll probably buy an Objective2.
