My father's old headphones at work need to be replaced, and he is looking a purchase a new pair within a few days on Amazon.
He is not an audiophile, and as a 60 year old cranky man, he just wants them "to work" so to speak. He is not very picky.
So here are the specifics he is looking for in these headphones:
-It has to be UNDER $100. He also mentioned about not wanting them being stolen by co-workers.
-Must require NO amp to be properly driven.
-Since he works in a cubicle. he would like noise reduction/cancelling properties. He likes the HD 558s for such purpose.
-Stated he wanted "neutral" sound.
He did not mention this to me, but I know he does like to listen to older rock music, I guess around the 70-80s mostly. I believe Metallica is one of his favorite bands. I do not know much about rock music, so I guess a headphone that have synergy with rock music may be something to look at.
Thanks.
