Hello there, first post here few questions to ask for pair of good headphones. I would like headphones that are good for nu-metal/rock (disturbed, korn, avenged sevenfold). I also need the headphones to be decent for gaming. No mic is needed as I have an external. A short cable would be nice (3-4 ft) although not a necessity. They also need to work well without an amp. Portability doesn't matter too much. I am currently interested in the Ultrasone HFI-870 but need to get a second opinion. Sorry for the precise needs but I want to get a pair of phones that I like. Preice range is around $150-$175. Thanks for any and all help if any extra info is need feel free to ask. Thanks again.
