Hey guys,
I did some more research after posting in the recommendations thread a while back. Thought creating this thread would make it easier to follow.
I'm having a hard time finding a pair for my needs and don't really know what kind of 'sound signature' I enjoy. Want something fun and easy to listen to
and hope to make a decision fairly soon.
Budget: ~$300 for headphones + ~100 for an amp
Where: Office, semi-cube environment
Isolation: Yes. Don't want to hear people around me.
Genre: Acoustic/Instrumental/Classical (lots of guitars, uke, etc. think..Jake Shimbakuro, Andy Mckee )
Portable? No.
Other: Should be comfortable. I like good construction and sound quality.
Headphones I'm looking at that are closed, full-sized:
Beyerdynamic DT 770 or some variant (Good isolation and good for classical?)
AKG K550 (I heard there could be clamping issues)
MDR 7520 ($357, little above the budget)
Thanks so much!
