Hello,
I've been looking for some good headphones to use with my computer. Here's what I want:
-deep bass - not necessarily louder bass, but when the music goes boom i want to hear boom all the way down the spectrum. e.g., between Koss TD/65s (hotter bass) and Sony MDR-7506 (deeper, softer bass), I choose the Sonys.
-detailed highs - once again, not necessarily loud, but clean and crisp without being too sharp. MDR-7506 is good.
-comfortable. I've tried the Senn EH2200s... good god. NO pressure, NO weight. They are the yardstick by which I measure other cans.
Here's a cross-section of my musical habits: Pink Floyd, the Doves, Radiohead, Holst (the Planets), Vivaldi, Rammstein, Crystal Method, Beatles, Jethro Tull, Nine Inch Nails, Portishead, Tool, ...
I've set my sights on Senn HD497s. They're well within my price range, and HeadRoom gives them high praise.
I have only the amp built into my computer, which I doubt is of good quality. At least it (probably) has a good power supply. It can drive Koss TD/65s no problem (which I think are rather high-impedance but I can't find specs because they're discontinued)
So, what do you all think? Are there other cans in the price range that will do as well? I have no brand loyalty, and I can afford up to about a hundred.
TIA!
