Guess this is the place for this, so here goes...
I'm looking for some decent heaphones to use in the office. To give you an idea, I stream music on spotify, and don't have a decent amp (I have a cheesy Creative USB soundcard). I've have been using in-ear's like Klipsch iS4, Shure SCL2, and some cheap Sennheisers.
I'm obviously not an audiophile, but I've been into audio for years now and I'm not happy with anything I've found.
The other day, I was at an Apple store and I tried out the Sennheiser Amperior. They were actually the first headphones that I thought sounded good.
Here's what I'm looking for:
- Good sound quality is most important
- Good design comes next. If it's ugly...no dice
- No open-design. I work in a office and I don't want my co-workers to hate me
- Did I mention...can't be ugly?
Price isn't a big deal. I feel like $200-$300 makes sense for me (I listen to compressed music on a cheapo amp), but I'd pay $400 if they were near perfect.
What do you all think? Over-ear or on-ear is fine, I think I prefer on-ear. Just gotta make sure it doesn't leak too much sound.
Any opinion is immensely appreciated! Unless you mention Beats...
