Hello!
Its my first post here, and I came in for some advice.
At the moment I have got some Sony MDR-CD280 headphones. My first question is, does anyone have any experience with these? They were a present off my mother, but to me, the sound quality of them is poor (at least compared to my amp and speakers they do).
Anyway, I have them connected up to a cheap headphone amplifier that cost about $40 or something. Its a B-Tech BT928.
What I want to know is, if I were to replace the headphones, would I need to replace the amplifier as well, or should that be OK. I was thinking it might be ok, just the headphones themselves suck. OK so its not gonna be the best for the price of it, but I do not wish to replace it if I dont have to.
So basically, I need to know which headphones you would recommend for around $100 at the most, not being rich. I would like them to be full size for listening in my room. I will be using them for:-
+ Listening to my music, which is mainly trance/techno that sort of thing.
+ Watching TV/Movies
+ Playing the occaisional game on the PC
I would like some phones that sound quite bright, but not harsh (I quite like enhanced highs), and powerful sounding bass, but not too boomy or overwhelming, and also ones that would sound decently realistic for movies and games (thats a secondary priority though, music is most important).
Also, would you recommend a new amp, and if so, which one, again for around $100 or less if thats possible.
Thanx!
Paul
EDIT: They also need to be comfortable!
