I have spent the last few hours researching and I came across a few head-fi threads and recommendations so I have joined. I would like to get some recommendations to help me choose a set of headphones. My main headphones at the moment are Marshall's Major and I only use them when I am out on the bus playing music on my phone. The problem with these is that the head band part is bent in a few place due to its flimsy soft construction and poor care ha. Also I feel that the headphones have a bit to much leak which is a problem I would like to solve otherwise I would just buy a new pair. This is what I am after:
Portability:
In terms of portability I would prefer a relatively small headphone frame, similar to the Marshall's perhaps, usually my headphones are sitting around my neck or in a backpack. I also have Sennheiser HD215 which I find are to large for travel.
Sound:
Bass is very important to me, I listen to Drum and Bass, Reggae, Hip Hop and Dubstep which are all bass heavy genres of music lol. I have owned Porta Pro and Beats by Dre (Phone accessory (don't judge me
)) and I like the bass rumble that these create, even if at the expense of the mid and treble. The Sennheiser's I have I feel have good overall sound however they lack the bass I am after by a large margin.
Budget:
My budget is £100 ($163), I know you guys will want to recommend some high end items but I need to keep the costs down. I am also buying a new phone so the headphones are more of an add-on.
Thanks in advance for any advice, again bass, low sound leak and relatively portable headphones pretty much sums up what I am after.
